Lithuania is a developing country but in my own experience of being in Lietuva, it is safe and generally friendly to Jews.<br /><br />Lithuania has a beautiful, sentient and hospitable people, and while small pockets of anti-Jewish sentiment do exist across many communities in Eastern Europe, many Lithuanians, especially young Lithuanians, understand and respect the significance and enormity of Jewish life in Lithuania before the Holocaust.<br /><br />My Lithuanian friends living in Pakruojis, Kasiadorys and Vilnius are saddened and shocked by the unfortunate destruction of the Pakruojis Synagogue, one of the few remaining pre-War Jewish artifacts in Lithuania.<br /><br />The residents of Pakruojis were proud of this beautiful old building which survived the Holocaust for 64 years, right through the anti-Jewish policies of Communism. I can personally attest that the building was in a natural state of decay, and it was only a matter of time before an accidental fire or vandalism damaged or destroyed it.<br /><br />As a Jew and grandchild of Lithuanian citizens, I am grateful to the people of Lietuva for my countless positive experiences in this wonderful country.<br /><br />Nolan MenachemsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655049990370776608.post-68621996623554225442009-05-04T13:00:00.000+02:002009-05-04T13:00:00.000+02:00Wow,
