I have home movies taken by my grandparents while visiting Lithuania in the
mid to late 1930s and need help identifying the towns, most or all of which
is probably Kaunas. Is there someone (or some organization) that could view
the very brief footage (5-7 minutes) to see if the towns are recognizable. I
would prefer someone in the New York City area, but would be willing to mail
the footage (VHS or DVD), if necessary.
Please note that I contacted the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New
York, which has an extensive video archive, but they have informed me that
they cannot help.
