On the first day of Seimas, Lituanica Department of Martynas Ma\u017evydas National Library of Lithuania in Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania invited the delegates to the opening of a new exhibition \u201cLithuanian Publishing in Post-WWII Europe\u201d<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"JolantaIn the opening speech, the head of the Department, Jolanta Budri\u016bnien\u0117<\/strong>, talked about the idea of the exhibition \u2013 using the rich collection of Lithuanian DP Publishing, 1945-1952, housed at the National Library of Lithuania to commemorate 70 years since the mass westward flight of the Baltic Displaced Persons, refugees from war-torn Lithuania. It should be noted that in 2011, the collection was recognised as part of Lithuania\u2019s documentary heritage and included in the UNESCO\u2019s program \u201cWorld Memory\u201d for the Lithuanian National Register.<\/div>\n

\"IrenaThe Deputy Speaker of Lithuanian Parliament and the hostess of the exhibition, Irena Degutien\u0117<\/strong>, stressed that at the end of WWII, while Europe was freeing itself, in Lithuania, guerrilla fighting had only intensified and the mass deportations were taking place. Thus, it is not surprising that Lithuanian publishing, exiled from the homeland, had to establish itself in the West. \u201cOur language was alive and will be alive, because everything depends on our willingness to speak the language, regardless of where one lives,\u201d Degutien\u0117 concluded her speech.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Vincas Bartusevi\u010dius<\/strong>, the director of Lithuanian Institute of Culture in Germany and the author of a monograph \u201cThe DP Camps in Germany, 1945-1951\u201d, gave an overview of the historical context and the conditions under which Lithuanian publishing evolved in post-war Germany and other Western European countries.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The chair of the LWC Culture Commission, J\u016brat\u0117 Caspersen<\/strong>, invited Lithuanian diaspora communities to remember their historical origins by seizing the opportunity to exhibit the travelling exhibition \u201cLithuanian Publishing in Post-WW II Europe\u201d in their host countries.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The exhibition was prepared by the Lituanica Department of the National Library of Lithuania in partnership with Lithuanian Institute of Culture in Germany. Support came from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania on the recommendation of Lithuanian Traditions and Heritage Commission.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
