In deep sadness we report the death of Fania Brantsovskaya on September 22 in Vilnius. She was born in 1922.

Fania was a Jewish partisan who originally served as a courier. Several films have been made about her life. She was one of only a handful of Jewish partisans who remained in Lithuania after the Holocaust. In her later years she continued to speak out publicly and teach younger generations about what happened in Lithuania.

Our deepest condolences to her family and many friends.
