What future will bring for the National Stadium. (And for us).
I could not agree with Andrius Tapinas on this topic more.
Here are the most painfull failures of Vilnius (sofar):
- construction of National Stadium;
- reconstruction of legendary Sports Palace;
- construction of National Hall of Concerts at Tauras Hill;
- reconstruction of Bus Station;
- reconstruction of Railways Station.
Vilnius museum was opened in spring 2021.
Very informative interview with Rasa Antanavičiūtė, founder of Vilnius museum: here (On lrt Mediateka).
About Lithuanian Jewish Genocide Rememberance Day I wrote on Day 102.
This year I took part in The Road of Memory. Ponary March of the Living.
March started @11:00 @Rudninkų squre with few speaches (among them a speach of our PM Ingrida Šimonytė) and few songs in Yddish.
Later the march headed towards The Central Railway Station for a train of 12:32 to Trakai.
Train was full of people. In Ponary the march headed towards the forest.
Like was one of the particpants of the march has said: This forest is full of Sadness.
The forest has a smell of blueberries (subjective, because I felt this smell) and a smell of pine spikes.
The ceremony was full of wreaths of flowers and full of speaches. A lot of Ambassadors took part in the ceremony.
It's a sad ceremony.
But we have to remember.
Never means never, never again means never again.
