At the end of each year, we gave each other hope that the next year would be easier. Unfortunately, it was not easier. I think that the phrase “Today is the time, tomorrow it will be too late” often mentioned by the founder of the museum Pranas Genis… is especially important for every person if he understands it”, said director Eva Stonkevičienė, welcoming the gathering.
