Jewish cemeteries of Vilnius

The Jewish cemeteries of Vilnius are the three Jewish cemeteries of the Lithuanian Jews living in what is today Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, which was known to them for centuries as Vilna, the principal city of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire. Two of the cemeteries were built over during the Soviet period and the third is still active.
