One of the two ghettos in Vilna has been “liquidated” by order of the Nazi authorities there and its Jewish inhabitants have been ordered to move to the already over-crowded ghetto in Baksht, a suburb of the city, according to a report appearing in the Deutsche Zeitung, which the Nazis publish in Vilna.
The German paper, which reached here today, states that this so-called second ghetto, was situated between German and Dominican streets.
