Poles In Lithuania
The Poles in Lithuania (, ), also called Lithuanian Poles, estimated at 183,000 people in the 2021 Lithuanian census or 6.5% of Lithuania's total population, are the country's largest ethnic minority. During the Polish–Lithuanian union, there was an influx of Poles into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the gradual Polonization of its elite and upper classes. At the end of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, almost all of Lithuania's nobility, clergy, and townspeople spoke Polish and adopted Polish culture, while still maintaining a Lithuanian identity. Polonization also affected Lithuanian and Belarusian peasants and led to the formation of a long strip of land with a predominantly Polish population in the late 19th century, stretching to Daugavpils and including Vilnius. The rise of Polish nationalism and the Lithuanian National Revival led to conflicts between both groups, that, following World War I and the rebirth of both states, escalated into the Polish–L ...

Lithuanian Righteous Among The Nations
The citizens of Lithuania have the second highest count of individuals per capita who have been recognised by Yad Vashem as the Lithuanian Righteous Among the Nations, for saving Jews from extermination during the Holocaust in World War II. There are , 924 Lithuanian men and women bestowed with the honour. The Lithuanian list includes not only Lithuanians, but also Polish and Russian citizens of Lithuania. The search for the righteous is ongoing but it has become increasingly difficult to find survivors who can confirm the fact of rescue and tell their story. Most of the Jews were saved by peasants as it was easier to hide them in remote farms and most rescued Jews were children as they attracted less attention. More Jews were saved in Samogitia (western Lithuania) than in other areas of Lithuania. Many of the rescued Jews were helped by multiple people. For example, Glikas family (parents and five children) was helped by about twenty Lithuanian families; ten individuals were recog ...
