Book Launch: Danutė Dobužinskaitė's 'Risen from the Ashes'

On August 27, at 5 PM, the Great Hall will host the book launch of Danutė Dobužinskaitė's 'Risen from the Ashes'. The discussion will be moderated by Nerutė Šiliūtė. About the book: 'Risen from the Ashes. Kinship is More Than Blood' (published by 'Mijalba') is a multi-layered narrative about family memory, ancestral legacy, and a person's connection to their origins. In the book, the author embarks on a personal yet universal journey through centuries of history, intertwining family memories, fragments of Lithuanian history, archival research, spiritual experiences, and the search for one's inner world. According to the author, this book was born from a desire to understand what gifts and what wounds we inherit from previous generations. 'This is a book about memory that heals, about love that connects generations, and about the human ability to rise even after the toughest trials,' says D. Dobužinskaitė. It is not a traditional family chronicle or historical novel; the book places special emphasis on a person's relationship with their roots, the importance of family history, and the theme of inner transformation. About the author: Danutė Dobužinskaitė (Kivilšienė) is the author of seven original books (published in Lithuanian and Polish), a publicist, a researcher of family history, and a person who believes that every family story is worth preserving. For many years, the author has been collecting living human stories, delving into the depths of her roots, writing articles, and sharing thoughts on the human spiritual world and the importance of memory. Her work brings together history and heart – real human destinies, painful experiences, forgiveness, respect for ancestors, and an unwavering belief that even from life's greatest ashes, it is possible to rise for a new flight. The author's life credo is to protect what is fragile and important: people, their memory, family history, and the unending joy of life. She firmly believes that kinship is more than a blood tie – it is responsibility, wisdom passed down from generation to generation, and the light that lives today in our own choices.
