Attended a moving ceremony this morning at the Paneriai Memorial in Vilnius to honour the victims of the genocide of the Lithuanian Jews. Keynote address given by the President of Lithuania. Kaddish performed by Cantor Shmuel Yatom.
Returned to Vilnius earlier this week after summer holidays in Ireland. One highlight - a visit to “Greenbank”, the house in Co. Donegal in which my father grew up in the 1930s. Seen here with Bernadette in the front garden.
