  <mods:abstract>Fira Bramson, former bibliographer of the Judaica collection of the Lithuanian National Archives, was interviewed by Christa Whitney on August 2, 2012 in Vilnius, Lithuania. This interview is conducted entirely in Yiddish. Fira spent her childhood and young adulthood in Kaunas, Lithuania. Both Yiddish and Russian were spoken in her home. When the Nazis invaded Lithuania, Fira and a group of her school friends fled across the border to the Soviet Union. Since 1989, Fira has worked tirelessly to sort Judaica materials that emerged from Soviet holdings after Lithuania broke away from the USSR's control. She wrote about her findings in her book "By The Treasures of Judaica," published jointly in Yiddish and Lithuanian in 2010.
