Author Ellen Cassedy's article “What Lithuania can teach us about dealing with the Holocaust” for Haaretz Daily Newspaper in Israel, discusses how Lithuania can provide a dialogue for helping people understand the Holocaust.

“The approach to the Jewish past thatI saw in Lithuania poses questions, rather than supplying answers,” Cassedy said. “Rather than being forced to repent, people are invited to design their own vehicles of remorse.” See full article here.

Cassedy’s new book, We Are Here, is a memoir of her personal journey discovering her Yiddish background and an exploration of the people of Lithuania.

In October, Cassedy will be going on a book tour in Lithuania, sponsored by the U.S Embassy.
