" Throughout the diaries, with the backdrop of the war, there is always Adolfas’ irrepressible sense of humor borne of unmitigated hope." br> David Newhoff, Writer and Film Director
" treasure. Such an odyssey and testament to human spirit, wit and resilience. In view of our current world, insight into
the displaced experience in war. A very dark time survived with grace. And his charm is intact, his light touch,
his genuineness as a human being that was felt by his students, by me."
Robert Selkowitz, Artist and Author
"The way Adolfas approached the world will resonate with me forever. Stories about him were always present as I was growing
up and are part of my earliest memories. My parents worked with Adolfas so I always understood his way of making
things. Reading his diaries gave me insight into his curiosity for culture, and who he was as a young man. I
am inspired to emulate Adolfas, the artist."
Dylan J. Stone
