VILNIUS—Lithuania’s Seimas (Parliament) started its Autumn session on September 10, 2026. The Committee on Culture will continue to deliberate the future of the Soviet Sports Palace, which desecrates Vilnius’s oldest Jewish cemetery. As Defending History readers know, this has been a longstanding issue. Gerbkimes kapines (Respect Cemeteries) is inviting interested readers to write to ruta@kapines.com and join our international team, meet with us by zoom, and help with our activities, including our email campaigns.
