Lithuania was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (one of the largest states in Europe) and formed an alliance, and personal union with Poland in 1385 (The Grand Duke of Lithuania and the young Queen of Poland effectively marrying the two nations together). Together they conquered the Teutonic Order in 1410. This treaty signified the beginning of a long, extremely close relationship between the two.
In 1569, they signed another treaty that bound them even closer together- as a commonwealth. It was a new and revolutionary form of government. Together they became the primary rye producers (also known as 'the breadbasket') of Europe. Their relationship continued until Prussia, Austria and Russia began the partitions of their land between 1772-1795. After the final partition, Lithuania (and Poland) was wiped off the map until it regained independence 1918. So no, Lithuania was not part of Poland, but a great commonwealth based on a close relationship between the two nations. The Jogaillan dynasty was also Lithuanian (The Polish Royal Line).

Jews who survived holocaust was: Persons who was sent into Stalin GUAG's in 1941 June 14 with other Lithuanian citizens; those who were in underground resistance to nazi occupation (Communist) organizations; who survived slavery work in concentration camp.
Holocaust singularities in Lithuania: 96% of Jew population were killed during the holocaust are the one of the biggest percent in the world. This percentage is so big bocouse there were no preparation to kill all the Jews like in other countries - about 75% population were killed 1941 June - 1941 December, Others were sent to ghettos and killed in 1943 June. Such big percentage of killed Jews are because some lithuanians coloborated with Nazis - they were affected by nazi propoganda. The conspiracy theory about "Judeo-Bolshevism" was particularly widespread in Lithuania.
