The Lost Shtetl Museum invites visitors to rediscover the vanished world of Eastern European “shtetls” or small Jewish towns. The exhibition tells the stories of the shtetl Šeduva, Lithuania; stories preserved by survivors and descendants. It explores the interwar years (1918-1940), when religious, civic, social and commercial life thrived. Sadly, this era also marked the final chapter of Jewish life in Šeduva and Lithuania. Rooted in one small town, the museum offers a powerful lens on the broader history and massacre of Lithuanian and European Jews.
