- In this week’s edition of The Middle East Report, Simon Barrett interviews award winning film producer Michael Kretzmer on his new ground-breaking documentary J’Accuse that exposes Lithuania’s shocking role in the Holocaust.
Michael shares his own personal story of his Lithuanian Jewish heritage, growing up in Zimbabwe, moving to the UK to become a travel journalist for the Sunday Times and producing documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4.
They will be discussing Michaels very personal new film that exposes how ordinary Lithuanians during the Second World War needed no encouragement from the Nazis to carry out hideous atrocities against their fellow Jewish Lithuanian citizens.
He shares how Lithuania has not come to terms with their dark history and how the government is involved in Holocaust denial and even honouring Lithuanian war criminals who murdered Jews.
Watch extracts of the documentary J’Accuse and discover more about this hidden piece of Lithuanian history & its role in the Holocaust.
The fact that the Jewish people have maintained, despite the persecution only ADDS to their dignity.
Rūta Vanagaitė, Lithuanian author released the book "Our People" some years ago. She told her family's part as well as Lithuanian people role in Holocaust.

There is a Yeshiva/city in Lithuania after which my family is named. I just hope we were on G-D'S Side during this!
The european court of justice is obliged to inform the europen union organisation of the historical denial of history which the lituanian authorities display.
Historical denial of the holocaust
Ever heard of life!!
It is about a cloud of unknowing and a cloud of forgetting.
"Surrounded by enemies", is what they said. "I'll be back" is what I said before my execution.
In 1940 the Soviets invaded and killed thousands of Lithuanians. Many of these Soviet soldiers who committed atrocities on the Lithuanians had Jewish names. When the German troops invaded in 1941, the Russians retreated and the German troops were looked upon as liberators. Of course the Lithuanians soon found out that the Germans were no better. So, it was pure revenge on the Jews because they blamed them for the atrocities committed on the Lithuanians. There were also Lithuanians who hid the Jews from the Nazis. It's not true that a majority of Lithuanians were antisemitic. It was a small group of Lithuanians who were engaged in the killing of Jews.
So that's why 96% of Lithuanian Jews were murdered?? Stop the denial.
Small group of 50000 people
