The Museum of the History of Lithuania Minor has announced an opening reception for the exhibition LEON on September 4 2026 in Klaipeda

The Klaipėda Jewish community invited to the event during which the names of the 1,225 people, buried in the cemetery, were presented. Opening of a publick exhibition.
As soon as the imposing figure of R. Isser […] with his flowing snow-white beard appeared on the streets of Königsberg, people knew right away that a circumcision was taking place that day.
Jewish families who had come from Memel and fled to Kaunas were also deported.
The last rabbi of Memel / Klaipeda before the war was Dr Simon Schlesinger (1893–1959), He arrived in the town from Cologne in 1932.
...... The painting of the then-young family was housed at the Jewish Museum Berlin and was photographed in 1934. Today, the painting is considered lost ......
We saw Shtetl on the border and places of the former German Jewish Kehila: The todays Silute County south of Klaipeda includes the former German Heydekrug area.
We met Eugenius Bunka, the son of the last Jew of Plunge.
