The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Tower of Faces contains more than 1,300 photo album pictures in this three-story display. Taken during the 1920's and 1930's in the small Lithuanian town of Ejszyszki, nearly 90 percent of the 3,500 Jews in the town were murdered in two days in September, 1941 by a Nazi killing squad.
