  • who so interested in jewish stuff?

  • ...The city was first mentioned in written sources in 1323 as the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the letters of Gediminas. Gediminas built his wooden castle on a hill in the city. The city became more widely known after he wrote a circular letter of invitation to Germans and Jews to the principal Hansa towns in 1325, offering free access into his domains to men of every order and profession. ...

  • Lol @ "Frank Zappa, famous Lithuanian Jew". Frank Zappa was Sicilian, and his father was a strict Catholic. He fell under serious scrutiny from the Jewish community for "Jewish Princess". Like many of his other songs. Nice clip though.
