This video examines the history � and the plight � of Vilna�s Old Jewish Cemetery, affectionately called �Piramont� and �Der Alter Beys Eylem� by Vilna�s pre-World War II Jewish community. The video features an appeal to the Lithuanian government by Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.
