For many years now I have been starting the day by reading the latest on the website of the Jewish Community of Lithunia. Today for the first time in a long time I saw a published statement by chairperson Faina Kukliansky which I would happily sign on to. I would like to say: Bravo, Faina Kukliansky!

I very much hope that our Jewish honor will likewise be upheld in the future.

With best wishes

Professor Pinchos Fridberg (Vilnius)

PS: In my opinion, tolerance is a street with traffic in both directions. When the government brings and with colossal pomp reburies with full honors the Nazi collaborator Juozas Ambrazevicius Brazaitis, it is a colossal setback that disrupts this traffic for many years to come.
