Dear Mrs. Faina Kukliansky,

Dear friends from the Lithuanian Jewish Community,

The Lithuanian embassy in Japan greets you on February 16, the day of the restoration of the state of Lithuania! We send for your information an article by Lithuanian ambassador to Japan Egidijus Meilūnas published today in the Japan Times. The article discusses Righteous Gentiles, the former Japanese consulate in Kaunas, Lithuania and their efforts to save Jews:
