Prof. Dr. Ruth Leiserowitz’s presentation
“KLAIPĖDA / MEMEL AFTER MARCH 23 – A CITY WITHOUT JEWS?”

There are well-known photographs from March 1939 showing heavily loaded carts belonging to Jews fleeing Klaipėda. What else happened during those days? Was the flight hasty, or had it begun earlier? How did the city change when the Jews disappeared? Prof. Dr. Ruth Leiserowitz will talk about all this in her presentation. Admission is free.

Event organizers and partners: Museum of the History of Lithuania Minor, Institute of Baltic Region History and Archaeology at Klaipėda University, Klaipėda Jewish Community.
