My Recollections Khvedar Nyunka Khvedar Nyunka is the chairman of the Belarusian Culture Society in Lithuania. His book My Recollections is not only about the author's public activity. It is a diary describing Nyunka's life. Historical events covered in the book add to and explain his life experiences, feelings, achievements and concerns. He explains why his destiny took one course, not another. The author, who currently lives in Vilnius, was born in the Hrodna region of Belarus and caught in the war between Germany and the Soviet Union. During the 1941-1945 war, Khvedar's family moved to Vilnius for fear of persecution. In the city, Khvedar Nyunka realized his Belarusian identity. He became involved in public activity in the early 1990s. He was one of those who helped revive Nasha Niva. Nyunka represents himself as a low-profile person and concentrates more on historical developments in which he was a participant and on the Belarusian Culture Society in Lithuania. The book must be of interest to a wide audience.
