Exhibition "Hello, Paris! The Path of Litvak Artists" opened in London
On November 11, 2014 representatives of the British, Jewish and Lithuanian communities in London attended the opening of the exhibition „Hello, Paris. The Path of Litvak Artists” at Europe House.

“I am happy that London hosts this impressive exhibition. We put a lot of heart and effort into promotion of the Jewish heritage of Lithuania in the UK. Each year we organize the traditional Litvak days in London - an annual conference dedicated to the history and culture of the Lithuanian Jews”, the Lithuanian Ambassador Asta Skaisgirytė Liauškienė noted.
