Every year, tourists and locals rush to see the cherry blossom alley in Vilnius – at best, cherry blossoms bloom for two weeks. At this time, social networks are filled with photos against the background of flowering trees, and professional photographers and their clients scurry along the alley. Few people know the story of the appearance of the “photogenic” alley – this is the story of thousands of Jewish lives saved.
