The Litvak Memorial Garden created by the Jakov Bunka Charity and Support Fund dedicated to Litvaks from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania has become the first location to host a memorial to late Israeli president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres. The memorial to Peres was placed in the metal apple tree sculpture “planted” at the garden which is located in the Žemaitija National Park. Žemaitija is an ethnographic region in western Lithuania.
