Visitors are welcome Wednesday through Sunday, from 10 AM to 6 PM. <\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">From June 4 to September 21, the Kurkliai Synagogue will host the exhibition of artist Samuel Bak, who miraculously escaped from the Vilnius Ghetto.<\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">Titled \u201cCity of Memories\u201d, the exhibition offers a keyhole glimpse into Samuel Bak\u2019s memory of the Jerusalem of Lithuania \u2014 Vilnius. Some works feature winding streets of his childhood Vilnius, captured in lithographs that often transform into the claustrophobic courtyards of the Ghetto. Others are visual requiems for the homes of his youth, their facades laid out like sandstone gravestones. Still-life compositions serve as fragments from a kaleidoscope of memories \u2014 pieces from the depths of the artist\u2019s mind that together reconstruct a world of the past.  <br class=\"html-br\"><br class=\"html-br\">Samuel Bak held his first art exhibition in the Vilnius Ghetto at the age of just nine. Over the next thirty years, he traveled extensively across Europe, often changing his place of residence, until settling in Weston, a suburb of Boston, in 1993. He continues to live and work there today. According to art historian Ieva \u0160adzevi\u010dien\u0117, Bak \u2014 who survived the Holocaust as a child \u2014 uses a symbolic language in his work that resonates with many and can serve as a powerful tool for healing.   <\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\"><\/h5>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">Please note: visits must be booked in advance via tel. <strong>+370 604 02 993; +370 686 47 096<\/strong> or email:  <strong>sinagoga@amenucentras.lt<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">Ticket prices:<\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">Adults \u2013 2 Eur<\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">Schoolchildren*, seniors, and people with disabilities \u2013 1 Eur<\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">*free entry for school groups from Anyk\u0161\u010diai district educational institutions, accompanied by responsible adults.<\/h5>\n<h5 dir=\"auto\">Cash only.
