Kailis forced labor camp, Former labor camp in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Kailis facility contained workshops, dormitories, and production areas where inmates manufactured winter clothing and processed fur for the German military forces.

From October 1941 to July 1944, this labor camp housed approximately 1,500 Jewish workers who endured forced labor during the German occupation of Lithuania.

The inmates established educational programs, maintained a library, and organized sports activities within the camp despite their harsh living conditions.

The facility included specialized sections for tailoring, fur processing, and leather manufacturing, with workers divided into specific production units based on their skills.

The camp management provided special permits to Jewish workers, temporarily protecting them from deportation to other locations where survival rates were lower.
