Population changes in the 20th century
Multilingual Vilnius
Around 1930 almost two-thirds of the city population was Polish, almost one-third – Jewish, while Lithuanians comprised less than one percent of the population. At the end of 1939 Vilnius once again became a part of Lithuania. After the Second World War, after the Holocaust, city came to be increasingly similar to the one you see today – mostly living in Lithuanian.
