Before the War 

Pictured here is a Purim play held in a nursery school in Rokiskis, Lithuania on March 2, 1938.  In 1939 the Jewish population in Rokiskis numbered 3,500. Most of the Jews were Habad Hasidim. Between August 15-25, all of the Jews in Rokiskis were herded into pits outside the town and shot.
