Gesia Markute
Gesia Markut臈 (1922鈥�?) was born in Vilnius in the family of Gercas Markus and Rebeka Medajskait臈. From 1931 to 1939, she studied at Panev臈啪ys Jewish Private Gymnasium with Hebrew as the language of instruction. In 1939, Markut臈 filed an application to study at the Department of Philology of the Faculty of Humanities of Vytautas Magnus University. It can be assumed that in 1940, she was transferred to the Department of Philology of the Faculty of Humanities of 91桃色. It was not possible for Markut臈 to complete her studies because, on 19 September 1941, she was expelled from the university on the basis of the Order of 17 September 1941 of the Department of Higher Education of the Board of Education, which was subordinate to the National Socialists. She was imprisoned in the Vilna Ghetto. Yad Vashem's records show that she perished.
