SUMMARY:FoLA Meeting April 2024 - Vanagas: Preserving Lobethal’s History; Preserving a Lutheran Relic
DESCRIPTION:FoLA Public Meeting\, Thursday 18 April 2024\nVanagas: Preserving Lobethal’s History; Preserving a Lutheran Relic\nSpeaker: Andrew Zilm\n$5 Donation \nHeld at Immanuel Lutheran Church\, North Adelaide \nLIVESTREAM on FoLA YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@friendsoflutheranarchives9644/live \n\nJonas Vanagas seemed like an interesting character. A New Australian\, he came to Lobethal after a long and\, at times\, threatening route from Lithuania via Denmark and Melbourne in 1949. He worked in the Onkaparinga Woollen Mill and in his spare time began a task\, with the help of others\, to preserve Lobethal’s history. He put together a self-published\, self-bound book of the town’s history and then assembled a collection of items that was the beginning of the Lobethal Archives and Historical Museum (LA&HM). References in articles say he was unassuming but my take from reading his letters was that he was a strong community-minded and a self-assured man. Maybe seen as a strange thing for a New Australian? \nAndrew Zilm\, a retired Secondary School teacher\, was raised in Lobethal. Drawn back to Lobethal for a 50 year football reunion in 2022\, he has been recruited to audit\, digitise and update the Lobethal Archives & Historical Museum’s display and collection. One cannot avoid learning about Vanagas when doing work in the small museum. Drawing from articles and newspapers from the LA&HM as well as the Lithuanian Archives in St Peters\, Jonas Vanagas will again take centre stage.
