    Congratulations to you, I purchased the book last week from amazon and find it spellbinding! How disgusting that current politicians in that nation still refuse to face the facts, tell the truth and accept reality. Please continue writing history for us!!

    A HUGE NUMBER OF LITHUANIANS WERE COMPLICIT IN THE HOLOCAUST. 5,000 SURVIVORS OUT OF 120,000 VALIDATES THIS.
    LITHUANIA- OWN UP AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE BRUTAL TRUTH OF YOUR ACTIONS SO JUSTICE AND HEALING FOR SURVIVORS, DESCENDANTS AND YOURSELVES CAN OCCUR. YOU CANNOT MOVE ON POSITIVELY AS A COUNTRY OTHERWISE

      1. you say this as though this owning up has not already happened. See the memorials. There's literally a national memorial day for the Lithuanian holocaust
      2. your argument is made through the view of a keyhole. It is apparent that you do not understand the political state of interwar Lithuania, and how, in comparison to every other European nation, its treatment of minorities, jews, etc by Antanas Smetona was absolutely exemplary. You ignore the state of Lithuania in the war, and how when it comes to the art of setting up such atrocities as such committed, to force the natives to make brother kill brother without really "forcing" them to do so a state of anarchy is required. Namely, after an occupation by a very extremist nation upon a land that is more progressive (IW Lithuania) or one that is of a polar opposite state (Soviet Union). This happened 4 times during ww2 to Lithuania, counting the 1940 occupation. So, your argument being of the Lithuanians being "complicit" is inherently wrong as the state of Lithuania, (kill these people who were so prevalent during the last occupation or you die) is the sole purpose for why so many Lithuanian jews were killed. Now, I know that you heard her say that one could not shoot and not get shot, but the main source for that, used namely by CBS and BBC is German photographers. SS members with the MOS of a combat photographer/cameraman who said the quote of "these Lithuanian volunteers killed people" at Nuremberg, during their OWN TRIALS no less, and literally being found guilty. It's a shame, it really is how these people who are involved in many of these big news outlets are incapable of doing anything other than the "lies to children" technique (oversimplifying to a point of falsification) the amount of Lithuanian "volunteers" who knew what was really gonna happen to them if they refused.

      You are either ignorant about the Holocaust in Lithuania or you have been misinformed. The complicity of local Lithuanians is a well known fact in Holocaust study.
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_in_Lithuania
      Here is just the first paragraph of the above link.
      “The Holocaust in Lithuania resulted in the near total destruction of Lithuanian (Litvaks) and Polish Jews,[a] living in Generalbezirk Litauen of Reichskommissariat Ostland within the Nazi-controlled Lithuanian SSR. Out of approximately 208,000-210,000 Jews, an estimated 190,000-195,000 were murdered before the end of World War II, most between June and December 1941. More than 95% of Lithuania's Jewish population was massacred over the three-year German occupation - a more complete destruction than befell any other country affected by the Holocaust. HISTORIANS ATTRIBUTE THIS TO THE MASSIVE COLLABORATION IN THE GENOCIDE BY THE NON- JEWISH LOCAL PARAMILITARIES, though the reasons for this collaboration are still debated.[1][2][3][4] The Holocaust resulted in the largest-ever loss of life in so short a period of time in the history of Lithuania.[4]”

      Sarashilanski you are right!For the regular young Lithuanian today it is easy to escape to denial but the historical truth is unforthuntly well documentated.

      ask yourself why? why did so many jews greeted soviets with open hands, why did they want to try communism so bad and why did they collaborate with soviets? There were plenty of sadistic commie torturers like Nachman Dushanski

      ​​@@benjaminellert7780 yes, and crimes of progressive jews who greeted soviets with open hands are also documented. Traitors, collaborators and sadistic torturers like Nachman Dushanski are also documented. Your modern day crimes against palestinians are documented as well
