A group of Ghettos called “The Jerusalem of Lithuania” put their lines on the risk to save thousands of books, documents and other arts from the Nazis. These people would have to sneak past guards and hope to not get caught by the prison guards for their numerous treasures. It lasted them a total of 18 months to collect all of these historical documents.
