"Vėjelis iš Lietuvos" (Breeze from Lithuania) - Documentary to Mark J. Kazickas 100th Anniversary
06/19/2018

On the evening of June 12th, to remember J. P. Kazickas, documentary by S. Berzinis "Vejelis is Lietuvos" (Breeze from Lithuania) was introduced during the A. Damusis Center Political Studies days at the National M. Mazvydas library.


It is a documentary film about Chornaya Padina, village established by the Lithuanian refugees and 1863 uprising members that still exists today.

Joseph P. Kazickas was born in this village in 1918 and lived there till 1922 when his family moved back to Lithuania. He returned to Chornaya Padina with his family to visit its residents and relatives in 2002 and in 2004 he built a chapel in his mother's Katarina's name.

During the movie screening A. Damusis political studies center director V. Valiusaitis, Jurate Kazickas, Saulius Berzinis shared their thoughts. Chornaya Padina refugee descendant Stasys Badaras shared some memories. At the end of the event Arminas Vareika, in the name of Lithuania's youth, expressed the gratitude for preserving historical heritage and raising national awareness.

 

"My father loved Lithuania very much. When I was young I couldn't understand why? But he kept waiting just for a little breeze from Lithuania. He said that flowers bloom prettier in Lithuania and they smell sweeter. He encouraged us to learn Lithuanian, study its history and traditions. He always believed that Lithuania will be free and was so excited when it regained its independence. So we can't stop now, we must do all we can for our country. Most importantly - to love Lithuania," shared Jurate Kazickas.
