Moisiejus Klein\u0161teinas was an active member of the Vilkavi\u0161kis community, whose family and himself were affected by the Holocaust.<\/p>\n
Moisiejus Klein\u0161teinas was born in 1901. It is known that during his twenties, he was the principal of a Jewish eight-year school. In 1923, M. Klein\u0161teinas married a few years younger, Estera Solomina-Klein\u0161teinien\u0117. The same year, he was elected to the city council, where he participated until 1939. The family had two children: in 1924, Zayevas was born, and after eight years, in 1932, Ranana.<\/p>\n
Neither son nor father has not survived the Holocaust – both were killed on 28 July 1941 in the Vilkavi\u0161kis ghetto. Estera and Ranana were imprisoned in the Pilvi\u0161kiai ghetto, from which they ran away and hid until 1944 in the \u0160akiai district.
\nEstera Klein\u0161teinien\u0117 died in 1964 and is buried in Suderv\u0117 Jewish Cemetery.
\nAfter the war, Ranana Klein\u0161teinait\u0117-Malchova studied Russian language and literature at Vilnius University. After her studies, she translated texts for several media organisations. Ranana died in 2014 and was buried in Suderv\u0117 Jewish Cemetery, just like her mother.<\/p>\n
