The commemoration of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day was symbolically started by the Lithuanian Jewish (Litvak) community with a meaningful presentation of two new books that talk about the relations between Jews and Lithuanians during various historical periods.<\/p>\n

Two books were presented at the premises of the Lithuanian Jewish (Litvak) Community: “The Case of Texts: Lithuanian anti-Semitic Discourse from the second half of the 19th century to 1940” by Ph.D. of VMU Linas Venclauskas, and “Jews in Lithuanian Literature” by a culturist, essayist, publicist Vytautas Toleikis.<\/p>\n

Both books were partially financed by the Good Will Foundation.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the event, a moment of silence was taken in honor of the victims of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

A special mood was created by Dalia D\u0117dinskait\u0117, one of the brightest violinists of her generation in the Baltic States, a graduate of the Vienna University of Music and Fine Arts, winner of international competitions, and by one of the brightest Lithuanian pianists Darius Ma\u017eintas, a winner of numerous international competitions. The musicians performed a very symbolic program – “Hebrew Melody” by Joseph Achron, a litvak, violinist and composer, and “Kol Nidrei” by Max Bruch. It is a ritual piece that sensitively paid tribute to the victims of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n
