The Goodwill Fund and the Lithuanian Jewish Community in great sadness report that member of the executive board of the fund Uri Chanoch has died. He died September 1 at his home in Israel. The sympathies of all members of the fund go to the family of Uri Chanoch in their and our time of loss. Our dear friend and irreplaceable colleague has left us.

Uri Chanoch was born in Kaunas in 1928. He survived the Kaunas ghetto and then Dachau, but lost his grandparents, parents and sister during the Holocaust. Having been through the war, persecution and terror of extermination, Chanoch devoted his life to fight for the welfare of other Holocaust survivors and was deeply involved in the restitution process in Lithuania and abroad.
