I was extremely gratified to see your recent issue on South Africa. Most of the Litvaks whom you identify specifically had been quite helpful to me in re-establishing ties with the land of their forebears. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to meet almost all of them. Some have become good friends. And I fully hope that the renewal ties with the country of their origins will prove quite beneficial to many in this rapidly intermingling world.
When I initially learned about such a situation of largely forgotten ”roots,” not long after taking up residence in Tel Aviv, I realized the extent to which these ties spanned a century and more. The efforts to increase awareness of them in Lithuania itself remain an ongoing process and forms another story in itself. Thank you for your contribution.
I much admire your efforts to promote knowledge about this country, especially in the far flung corners of the world.
