May 16, 2018 assistant to the director of the Good Will Foundation Raminta Lisauskaitė gave a presentation titled „Jewish community reintegration in post-soviet Lithuania: restating/relearning Jewishness and Litvak past“ in the 5th Ruppin International Conference in Israel. The conference was dedicated to immigration and social integration, where academics and specialists working in the field of migration and integration from more than 15 countries presented their papers.
At the conference R. Lisauskaitė presented her research on Lithuanian Jewish identity after regaining of Lithuanian independence. The analysis of qualitative interviews with Lithuanian Jews of various age groups resulted in discussing questions such as: what it means to be Jewish, on what base Lithuanian Jewish collective identity is constructed, how identity is constructed in relation to Israel as a homeland, how identity is constructed in relation to the past and Holocaust.
