Review :
"She captures a world which looks amazingly as it must have a century ago. There is one radical difference. There are no Jews" John Russell Taylor, The Times art critic "Naomi Alexander puts down what she sees directly and unaffectedly. With the utmost economy of means -- we get the story" Paula Rego "A unique and remarkable book with its moving paintings and sketches of that tragic land" Lord Janner of Braunstone, Chairman of the Holocaust Educational Trust "Wishing this marvellous book every success in bringing us the flavour of Jewish Lithuania which is no more" The Association of Baltic Jews in Great Britain
