Lithuania’s 100 or so surviving former synagogues are among a tiny handful of reminders of the country’s once large and diverse Jewish population. In August 2017, Richard Schofield spent 12 days hitchhiking and travelling by public transport around the country, photographing them with a cheap Latvian smartphone and writing a short book about the experience. Although the book is currently unavailable, we’ve kept a few memories from the project online, including David G. Roskies’ original Foreword, the 100 captioned photographs that were included in it and our constantly updated spreadsheet, complete with information about the current condition of each surviving building.
