WHISPERING GRASS

Whispering Grass is a unique and wide-ranging investigation into the fate of several provincial Lithuanian Jewish 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 known to be in the possession of a private individual at a currently undisclosed location, and that of the 37-year-old photographer Dora Chaitaitė from Saločiai, who was reportedly doused in petrol and set on fire before she was shot and her house and photography studio were looted.

More information coming soon.
