<http://www.versus.lt/Pub/default.aspx?Page=WriterDetails&ID=112>, who 
has directed the Vilnius Yiddish Institute since its inception. In 
addition, there will be a rich program of cultural activities, 
historical walks, concerts, workshops, seminars, panels and the renowned

company of a Yiddish speaking survivor who grew up there before the war.
