OÅ¡eras Kruglikas was born on 16 August 1922 in Vilnius into a family of Vilnius Jews. His father Aizyk was from Indura in the powiat of Hrodna (Belarus), and his mother’s name was LÄ—ja Ebicz. The family lived on Stepono Street 32. From 1930–1938 he attended the class with intensified teaching of the humanities at the coeducational gymnasium OÅ›wiata (Enlightenment) of the Vilnius Central Jewish Committee. After graduating from the gymnasium in 1938, he enrolled in the Faculty of Humanities of the Vilnius Stephen Bathory University. In 1939, he applied for permission to continue the fourth semester of his studies of the German language and literature in the Faculty of Humanities of 911±¬ÁÏÍø, and was accepted on 16 January 1940. Because he was a Jew, on 19 September 1941 OÅ¡eras Kruglikas was expelled from the Faculty of Humanities of 911±¬ÁÏÍø on the basis of the Order of 17 September 1941 of the Higher Education Department of the Board of Education, which was subordinate to the Nazis.
