Panemunė Road Kaunas – Jurbarkas Is Situated in the South West of Lithuania, It Stretches About 130 Kilometers Panemunė road Kaunas – Jurbarkas is situated in the south west of Lithuania, it stretches about 130 kilometers. The road is famous for renaissance–style castles, manors and their parks, remained fragments of defensive line of the Nemunas from 13–15th centuries, valuable Panemune landscape, unique cultural treasures. Going this road you will visit small willages: Vilkija, Seredžius, Veliuona, Raudonė, Skirsnemunė. VILKIJA Going from Kaunas, first you will reach Vilkija village. Vilkija is situated on the bank of the Nemunas River, 30 km northwest of Kaunas, the district's city. For many years, contact with the town was only by boats that sailed on the river. The Kaunas-Klaipeda road, which was constructed in 1938, passed near Vilkija. In the 15th century, the great prince of Lithuania had an estate in the town. At the end of that century, Vilkija was the center of a sub district. In the 16th century, the town received the Magdeburg Rights. Vilkija was under Russian rule during 1795-1915, at first in the Vilnius Guberina (region) and then in the Kaunas Gubernia. During the period of Independent Lithuania (1918-1940), Vilkija was the center of a sub district. SEREDŽIUS The town is at the junction of the Nemunas and the Dubysa rivers. The mound called Palemonas Hill (almost 40 m/ 130 ft high) proudly rises in the panorama. The Chronicle of Lithuania mentions it in the legendary story about the origin of the Lithuanians being from Duke Palemonas of Rome, who left Rome and together with his relatives and subjects due to persecution by the Emperor Nero, settled in this country. Romanticist historians called the mound of Seredžius Palemonas Hill, since Palemonas is supposedly buried in it. The mound recalls the struggles with the Teutonic Knights. It is thought that the Castle of Pieštvė stood on the hill which was harassed by the Teutonic Knights from 1293 and withstood them until 1363. In the middle of 15th century the Teutonic Knights built their own Marienburg castle beside the mouth of the Dubysa in the Nemunas valley; at present there remained two hills called Palocėliai. The name of Seredžius has been made famous mostly by the composer and organist Stasys Šimkus. 1 kilometer to the west the classical style of Belvederis Manor stands. It was constructed at the beginning of the 19th century. 365 steps lead from the foot of the slope to the house. VELIUONA Veliuona is one of the oldest, the most beautiful, and interesting Lithuanian settlements. The Castle of Junigeda which stood here, was first mentioned in 1291. It was named Veliuona since 1315. In 1644, there was built the church of Assumption of the Holy Virgin. In the 19th century there was built a gorgeous classicism style wooden manor palace and there was planted a rich park with exotic trees and plants. The biggest adornments and valuables of the park are two mighty tulip trees with yellow blossoms (height 25 m.). Museum of land history is situated in the palace. RAUDONĖ K. Kiršenšteinas built a fortified manor-castle here at the end of the 16th century, where his grandson Jeronimas Krišpinas Kiršenšteinas made it his main residence. In the second half of the 18th century, Raudonė was left to the Olendskis family. A fire soon damaged the castle. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Duke Platonas Zubovas gained the castle, and he undertook the remodeling of it. Those who want to admire the wonderful valley of the Nemunas, should climb the 33,5 m high castle tower. The castle is surrounded by an old park, in which rare trees grow: a silver fir, Swiss pine and a grey walnut, Gediminas Oak, under which according to the legend the Grand Duke of Lithuania Gediminas had had lunch. It is one of the oldest oaks in Europe. SKIRSNEMUNĖ Kristmemelis Castle (Teutonic Order), from which the name of Skirsnemune arises, was erected in this locality in 1313. The neogothic Church of St. George built in 1903. On the north bank of the Nemunas, near the road of Kaunas – Jurbarkas, Panemune Castle stands. The name “Panemune“ is guessed, arose from the former Panemune Manor that was once here. Janušas Eperješas, a nobleman of Hungarian descent, built the castle in 1604-1610. Panemune Castle was not designed to be a stronghold for the defence of the land but a feudal castle typical for the beginning or the 17th century with defensive fittings, residential buildings, and farm buildings. In the second half of the 18th century, Baron L.Igelštromas, and later the Gelgaugas family, acquired the castle. The new owners carried out a classical reconstruction. In XIXth century the castle was abandoned. At present the castle is under reconstruction and is prepared for visits. A wonderful castle park with five cascade pools and a hilly relief leave an unforgettable impression for every tourist. During a tourism season, works of Vilnius Art Academy are being exposed in the castle, it is possible to walk inside of the castle, admire the wonderful Panemune views that open from the castle tower. .

  • Lithuanian Synagogues: from the First Descriptions to Systematic Research
    arts Article Lithuanian Synagogues: From the First Descriptions to Systematic Research Vilma Gradinskaite Independent scholar, 05224 Vilnius, Lithuania; [email protected] Received: 4 March 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 21 May 2020 Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the development stages of synagogue research methodology in Lithuania during the four major historical periods of the country—Lithuania in the Russian Empire (1795–1918), Vilnius Region in the interwar period and the independent Republic of Lithuania (1918–1940), the Soviet period (1940–1990), and the independent Republic of Lithuania restored in 1990. Each chapter of the article deals with the issues of synagogue research, heritage conservation and management, while the part about the restored independent Republic of Lithuania and modern days includes topical issues related to synagogue restoration, commemoration and putting them into operation. The study uses two different sources: archival materials and publications. Written sources and publications are reviewed in chronological order and start from the end of the 18th century. The study employs several research methods—the historical descriptive method, the comparative method and the analysis method. Keywords: Lithuania; synagogues; conservation; restoration; renovation; rebuilding; management; commemoration 1. Introduction The article presents several fields of study: (1) a review of the first descriptions of synagogues in Lithuania; (2) an analysis of the development stages of synagogue research methodology in Lithuania; and (3) a brief reference to synagogue restoration, renovation, rebuilding, commemoration and putting into operation—topics which are currently particularly live in Lithuania today. It is not possible to understand the existing trends in synagogue research in Lithuania without considering the country’s past—the times of the Russian Empire, the interwar period and the Soviet period.

  • Lithuanian Jews and the Holocaust
    Ezra’s Archives | 77 Strategies of Survival: Lithuanian Jews and the Holocaust Taly Matiteyahu On the eve of World War II, Lithuanian Jewry numbered approximately 220,000. In June 1941, the war between Germany and the Soviet Union began. Within days, Germany had occupied the entirety of Lithuania. By the end of 1941, only about 43,500 Lithuanian Jews (19.7 percent of the prewar population) remained alive, the majority of whom were kept in four ghettos (Vilnius, Kaunas, Siauliai, Svencionys). Of these 43,500 Jews, approximately 13,000 survived the war. Ultimately, it is estimated that 94 percent of Lithuanian Jewry died during the Holocaust, a percentage higher than in any other occupied Eastern European country.1 Stories of Lithuanian towns and the manner in which Lithuanian Jews responded to the genocide have been overlooked as the perpetrator- focused version of history examines only the consequences of the Holocaust. Through a study utilizing both historical analysis and testimonial information, I seek to reconstruct the histories of Lithuanian Jewish communities of smaller towns to further understand the survival strategies of their inhabitants. I examined a variety of sources, ranging from scholarly studies to government-issued pamphlets, written testimonies and video testimonials. My project centers on a collection of 1 Population estimates for Lithuanian Jews range from 200,000 to 250,000, percentages of those killed during Nazi occupation range from 90 percent to 95 percent, and approximations of the number of survivors range from 8,000 to 20,000. Here I use estimates provided by Dov Levin, a prominent international scholar of Eastern European Jewish history, in the Introduction to Preserving Our Litvak Heritage: A History of 31 Jewish Communities in Lithuania.

  • The Bloody History of the Jews: Like Salt on Wounds by Erika Baronaitė April 3, 2012
    Translation of: http://www.lrytas.lt/?data=20120403&id=akt03_a1120403&sk_id=99&view=2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Bloody History of the Jews: Like Salt on Wounds by Erika Baronaitė April 3, 2012 Director Saulius Beržinis’s newly made documentary film “When Jurbarkas Was Talked About in Yiddish” has raised a tempest in Jurbarkas. The film- makers accused of blackening the reputation of Lithuanians counter that they showed the truth, and aren’t about to be censored. The NGO Kopa film studio made the film about the life of the Jewish community, commissioned by the Jurbarkas Regional Museum. The Jurbarkas municipality, which contributed 1,800 litas to the project, said they had bought a film which had turned upon the local community. After a screening the regional administration asked for corrections to the film: not to present the names of Jurbarkas residents who collaborated with the Nazis, to change the heroes and to include people who risked their lives to rescue Jews. Kopa films didn’t consent to do that, and 61-year-old director Beržinis threatened to take the municipal administration to court for trying to censor the film. 1 About the Massacres, from the Lips of Others The film, almost 40 minutes long, begins with a recounting of how Jurbarkas is a corner of Lithuania well disposed for trade, and the daily life and trades of Jews are shown. Also shown is a photograph recording six surviving Jews standing next to a grave where 1,222 of their compatriots lie. The names and family portraits of Jurbarkas residents who rescued Jews during World War II fly across the screen.

  • In Pursuit of the Heritage and Place Synergy: the Environmental Impact of Panemunė Castle As a Heritage Property and Entirety of Values

A study Vaida Ščiglienė1, Vaida Almonaitytė-Navickienė2, Kristina Daubarytė2, Ieva Kuizinienė1, Angelė Čepėnaitė1 1 UNESCO Culture Management and Cultural Policy Department, Vilnius Academy of Arts, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 Department of Humanities of Kaunas Faculty, Vilnius Academy of Arts, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The study on Panemunė Castle examined this heritage object in an entirety of its values and their impact on the environment, with a possibility of their synergism for the benefit of the place. It found the contemporary national heritage protection framework failing to grant equal attention to elements constituting the multifaceted worth of the castle as a property, inclusive of the social, cultural, artistic values, the engagement of local communities, the important role of cultural tourism and the image of the place, and eco- nomic efficiency. The analysis of the different facets one by one and collectively has brought to the conclusion that the social, cultural, artistic and economic values of Panemunė Castle as a heritage property influence their environment, but are not experi- enced as a powerful driving force of the contemporary heritage protection. The process remains fragmented, sporadic and underdeveloped, with its elements failing to achieve synergism for the place. Keywords: utilisation, inclusive society, heritage community, the impact of socio- cultural and artistic activities on a heritage property, opportunities of branding a cultural heritage property; potential, the criteria of cultural heritage assessment: cultural, social, economic values.

  • Romėniška Moneta Iš Panemunės Pilies
    LITUANISTICA. 2016. T. 62. Nr. 4(106), p. 280–288, © Lietuvos mokslų akademija, 2016 Romėniška moneta iš Panemunės pilies ARVYDAS MALONAITIS Lietuvos edukologijos universitetas, T. Ševčenkos g. 31, LT-03111 Vilnius El. paštas [email protected] Straipsnyje apžvelgiama 2011 m. archeologinių tyrinėjimų metu Panemunės pilies (Jurbarko r. sav., Pilies I k., Skirsnemunės sen.) kieme rasta romėniška Gordiano III (valdė 238–244 m.) moneta. Daroma prielaida, kad moneta į pilį galėjo patekti kaip kolekcijos dalis arba iš netoliese pažeisto senojo geležies amžiaus objekto (kapo ar gyvenvietės) ir kartu su žvyru atsidurti tarp statybinių atliekų. Straipsnyje pateikia­ mos monetos radimo situacijos, jos iliustracijos. Raktažodžiai: Panemunės pilis, Gordiano III moneta, antoninianas ĮVADAS 2011 m. atliekant archeologinius tyrinėjimus Panemunės pilies (Jurbarko r. sav., Pilies I k., Skirsnemunės sen.) kieme rasta romėniška Gordiano III (valdė 238–244 m.) moneta. Apie monetą buvo paskelbta pirminė informacija, pateikta jos iliustracija [11, 186–199, pav. 9]. Tai turbūt pirmas kartas, kai toks radinys buvo aptiktas pilies teritorijoje. Įprasta, kad ro­ mėniškų monetų randama kapuose, ypač Vakarų Lietuvoje, lobiuose, rečiau gyvenvietėse. 2001 m. duomenimis, iš 101 vietovės, kuriose rasta romėniškų monetų, 34 buvo kapinynai, 19 – lobių, 10 – piliakalnių ir gyvenviečių [14]. Kitais atvejais radavietės rūšis neaiški. Visgi galima daryti prielaidą, kad ir tarp šių atvejų didžiąją dalį sudaro monetos iš kapinynų, tik apie tai dar trūksta duomenų. Nors romėniškos monetos nėra itin retas radinys – jų rasta daugelyje Lietuvos vietovių, vis dėlto jų randama ne kasdien. Todėl kiekvienas naujas radi­ nys yra svarbus mūsų praeičiai pažinti ir nusipelno atidesnio žvilgsnio. Žvelgiant į pilies tyrinėjimų metu surinktą medžiagą matyti, kad Gordiano III moneta nelabai dera prie pilies gyvavimo tarpsnio ir vėlesnio laikotarpio radinių.

  • Lithuania Subnational
    The Situation of Children and Young People at the Regional Level in Lithuania Prepared by Lithuania Country Statistical Team Co-ordinator: Vida Stoskute Statistics Lithuania, Vilnius MONEE Country Analytical Report November 2004 The project to monitor the impact of economic and social change on children in Eastern and Central Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (MONEE) was initiated at the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre in 1992. The project seeks to monitor, analyse and disseminate information on economic and social trends affecting children’s rights and wellbeing in countries in the region. A key feature of the Project is a network of correspondents in the 27 National Statistical Offices (NSOs). On an annual basis these correspondents complete an extensive data template which in turn is used for calculating indicators, supporting research of the project and, in due course, being made publicly available as the TransMonee database and in tables and graphs of the Innocenti Social Monitor. For a number of years, each participating NSO prepared a Country Analytical Report based on extensive outline from UNICEF IRC on a different theme on the situation of children every year. These analytical reports have provided valuable input into the research at UNICEF IRC and, as significantly, have also served as important national documents on monitoring aspects of child wellbeing in the countries. Some of these Country Analytical Reports have been issued by the NSOs (in the national language) as part of their publication programme. UNICEF IRC attaches great value to these national assessments of the situation of children and is committed to promote the efforts, including through translating the reports into English (where the submitted report has been in Russian) and offering its website to make them accessible to a wider research audience.
