On 14 December 2023, EHRI released the last episode of its second EHRI podcast season, Gita’s Notes for Survival. The publication of this sixth episode coincided with the seventh day of Hanukkah, when people of Jewish faith across the world light the seventh candle on the menorah.
On 15 December, all eight candles of the menorah were lit, their flames symbolizing courage, strength and hope. This is also the essence of Gita’s story of survival and that of the Lithuanian ghettos, Vilnius and Kovno, who succeeded in preserving their rich cultural dynamics and heritage during the Holocaust.
