Klaipėda Region
Ieva Simonaitytė (1897–1978) represented the culture of Lithuania Minor and Klaipėda Region, territories of German East Prussia with large, but dwindling, Lithuanian population. She received critical acclaim for her novel "Aukštujų Šimonių likimas" ("The Fate of Šimoniai from Aukštujai", 1935).
