-----Answer-----
I am going to forward your e-mail to a friend that specializes in Jewish Genealogy.  I will send you information about people in your area that will be able to help you if you send me information about what city you live in and/or your zip code.

I need your e-mail address if you want me to forward this.

Answer
    My friend is leaving soon on a full time church service mission and is not able to personally help you.  She did have a few suggestions however.
    "With regard to this type of inquiry, I think it would be best if you steered him back to his local Jewish genealogy society or to look at www.jewishgen.org.  There are many Jewish organizations including Yad Vashem in Israel that do this type of research. I am not familiar with Vilna Czech.  In Vilna Lithuania there is a book that lists all the people killed in the Ghetto.  He can also inquire through Avotaynu.  Gary Mokotoff has made a lifetime of study on how to help people find out this type of information and has written a book about it."

    I hope that this helps you.
