Chairwoman
of the Jewish community of Lithuania Faina Kukliansky was awarded the Cross of
the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
With this
award, she was honoured for, as stated in the press release, her “tireless
nurturing of the memory of Lithuanian Jews who became victims of the Holocaust,
as well as long-term determined efforts to mobilise the Lithuanian Jewish
community and strengthen its role on the national and international scale.”
The report
stated that “without the contribution of Faina Kukliansky, the progress of the
historical memory of the entire Lithuanian society related to the Holocaust and
the participation of some Lithuanians in it is unimaginable.”
Prijevod
Predsjednica Židovske zajednice Litve Faina Kukliansky odlikovana je Križem Reda za zasluge Savezne Republike Njemačke. Ovom nagradom odana joj je čast za, kako stoji u priopćenju, njezino “neumorno njegovanje uspomene na litavske Židove koji su postali žrtve holokausta, kao i dugoročne odlučne napore da mobilizira litavsku židovsku zajednicu i ojača njezino ulogu na nacionalnoj i međunarodnoj razini.”
U izvješću se navodi da je “bez doprinosa Faine Kukliansky nezamisliv napredak povijesnog pamćenja cijelog litavskog društva povezanog s holokaustom i sudjelovanjem nekih Litavaca u njemu”.
