Join European Union Parliament Member, Leonidas Donskis, and award-winning Lithuanian poet and political dissident Tomas Venclova to discuss critical issues facing the Jewish community in Lithuania today, the controversies surrounding the mainstream perception of the Holocaust in Lithuania, and the nature of the reparations awarded to Lithuanian Holocaust survivors in 2013. How will Lithuania come to terms with its past? This esteemed roundtable includes Leonidas Donskis, Tomas Venclova, Faina Kukliansky, Chair of the Lithuanian Jewish Community, eminent historian Saulius sužiedėlis, Millersville University, and Mikhail Iossel, Moderator, of Concordia University and SLS/Summer Literary Seminars.
