Experiencing Lithuania: An Unconventional Travel Guide
Author: Columbia J. Warren
ISBN-10: 1475042221
ISBN-13: 9781475042221
Published: 2012-04-05

Book Description:
This guide takes a different approach than other more traditional travel guides about Lithuania. Instead of superficial aggregation of information about the country and its tourist attractions, the author tries to delve deeper into describing the country and its people, particularly those aspects about Lithuania and Lithuanians that strike him as different, unique and interesting. The author does provide descriptions about places to go, sites to see, and where to eat, but only selectively based on his own and local Lithuanians’ recommendations. The book also provides a great deal of advice about traveling in Lithuania in order to help you make the most of your visit. The guide is divided into four main parts. Part I gives an overview of Lithuania and its people. Part II describes recommended places to visit, dine and recreate. Part III provides practical advice about a wide range of logistical matters. Finally, Part IV presents a concise history of Lithuania. 50% of the author's net proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to a Lithuanian charity, Maisto Bankas, which provides food to Lithuanian families in need.

We Are Here: Memories of the Lithuanian Holocaust
Author: Ellen Cassedy
ISBN-10: 0803230125
ISBN-13: 9780803230125
Published: 2012-03-01
Publisher: University of Nebraska Press

Book Description:
Ellen Cassedy’s longing to recover the Yiddish she’d lost with her mother’s death eventually led her to Lithuania, once the “Jerusalem of the North.” As she prepared for her journey, her uncle, sixty years after he’d left Lithuania in a boxcar, made a shocking disclosure about his wartime experience, and an elderly man from her ancestral town made an unsettling request. Gradually, what had begun as a personal journey broadened into a larger exploration of how the people of this country, Jews and non-Jews alike, are confronting their past in order to move forward into the future. How does a nation—how do successor generations, moral beings—overcome a bloody past? How do we judge the bystanders, collaborators, perpetrators, rescuers, and ourselves? These are the questions Cassedy confronts in We Are Here, one woman’s exploration of Lithuania’s Jewish history combined with a personal exploration of her own family’s place in it. Digging through archives with the help of a local whose motives are puzzling to her; interviewing natives, including an old man who wants to “speak to a Jew” before he dies; discovering the complications encountered by a country that endured both Nazi and Soviet occupation—Cassedy finds that it’s not just the facts of history that matter, but what we choose to do with them.

ISBN-13: 9781841622477
Published: 2008-12-30
Publisher: Bradt Travel Guides

Book Description:
This new title from Bradt is an upgrade to the previous Baltic Capitals, recognising the changing nature of tourism and business travel to the region.The capital cities of Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius are still covered in depth with exclusive information on the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad; but the guide now also stretches away from the capital hubs to encompass other attractive cities in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that are well-worth a visit in their own right. A full Baltic itinerary, whether independent or tour-lead, can be plotted or followed with the aid of this guide, be it traveling along the peaceful Baltic coastline from Klaipeda to Liepaja, or striking inland to Daugavpils and Tallinn’s second city, Tartu. Thorough background information on the complex history of the Baltics is one of the many useful features for travellers new to the region.
