Ive has some downtime at work and wandered from some Smithsonian articles over on to the YIVO site and am now going through the digital museum Beba Epstein exhibit and it mentions that The Great Synagogue of Vilna could accommodate 3,000 congregants and intellectually I knew that there used to be more than 10million Jews in Europe but that really brought it home that I've never even contemplated a shul that could hold 1,000 people (I know a handful exist but as far as I can tell they are in the minority) most I've visited could hold maybe a couple hundred at most or a couple dozen minimum. And yeah Vilna was a city with a large and established Jewish population but I know there were similarly sized congregations in other big cities in Europe too. And I doubt that that was the only congregation that existed either. And it sort of sucker punched me.

A Lithuanian church has removed the Jewish gravestones that had been serving as stairs and returned them to the cemetery where they likely originated from, an organization representing Lithuanian Jewry announced Monday.
The Protestant Evangelical Church in Vilnius had been converted by the Soviet regime to a movie theater in 1957 as part of a anti-religious purge. A few years later, the Uzupis Jewish cemetery was razed to make a quarry, and headstones found their way into construction sites around the city, including to help form a 30-foot-long staircase.
The Lithuanian Jewish community has worked for years to return the headstones to the cemetery, which began to be repaired after the fall of Communism. The removal of the staircase “represents a victory in the Lithuanian Jewish Community’s long-term efforts to insure respect for the dead and the Jewish legacy in Lithuania,” the Lithuanian Jewish Community said in a statement.
In 2013, Lithuania’s chief rabbi urged the church, which had returned to become a house of worship, to remove the gravestones. The country “has many places built out of Jewish headstones,” Rabbi Chaim Burshtein told JTA. “I think the authorities and the Jewish community need to perform thorough research and correct at least this historic wrong.”
