Ruta Vanagaite: Book Launch
Ruta Vanagaite - a writer, a journalist, a Nazi-hunter, and a traitor. Welcome Lithuania's most notorious public figure, in Brooklyn for one night only.
"You discover that your grandfather had a role, even a relatively small one, in the mass murder of Jews. Youre a public figure, a journalist, your countrys best-selling author, a mother of two.
What do you do? You engage in what we Jews call tshuva, a process best translated as repentance. It requires examining the deeds of your family, your fellow citizens, and your own. Then you express regret. But if you are Ruta Vanagaite, saying youre sorry is not enough. You are determined to awaken the consciousness and conscience of your country, which has denied its guilt, even if that means going from Lithuanias most popular author to someone who is daily called a traitor."
