WHISPERING GRASS
Whispering Grass is a unique and wide-ranging investigation into the fate of several provincial Lithuanian Jewish studio photographers who are known to have been active at the time of the German invasion of Lithuania on June 22, 1941. Cases include that of the Čekiškė photographer Leizer Beker (1910-1941), whose personal photographs are suspected of being in the possession of a private individual at a currently undisclosed location, and that of the 37-year-old photographer Dora Chaitaitė, who was allegedly doused in petrol and set on fire shortly before her photography studio was raided during the mass murder of the Jewish population of Saločiai during the summer of 1941.
