The Israeli government has awarded, posthumously, its Medal of the Just to Father Bronius Paukstys, a Lithuanian priest of the Salesian Order, who was credited with saving the lives of several hundred Lithuanian Jews during the Nazi occupation of Kaunas between 1943-1945. Paukstys died in Kaunas in 1966 at the age of 69.
