The history of the Jews in Lithuania spans the period from the fourteenth century to the present day. There is still a small Jewish community in the country, as well as an extensive Lithuanian Jewish diaspora in Israel, the United States and other countries. Before World war II, Lithuania had a very strong Jewish population. The Jewish population was about 150,000 people, which was more than 5% of the total population. Throughout WWII, 91-95% of Lithuania's Jewish population were killed.< | The history of the Jews in Lithuania spans the period from the fourteenth century to the present day.
