    barbed wire fence and a yellow star of David with the inscription "Jude" stands side by side with a pole out of which grows a palm tree –
    on it we see another star of David with the inscription "Zion." At the front of the stage there are nine rectangles with blue and white stripes
    and on them we see the inscription "Am Israel Hai (The Israel People Live)".

    On it there are the details about the orchestra that was founded in Kaunas in 1941,
    shortly after the establishment of the ghetto in the city.
    Since the “Nazi murderers” forced the orchestra members to perform for them,
    the members of the orchestra survived until the annihilation of the ghetto in June 1944.
