Lithuania

Lithuanians generally prefer to approach their own history by honoring their fighters for resisting Soviet rule โ€“ and ignoring their active collaboration with the Nazis. The โ€œvictimizationโ€ approach largely precludes discussion about Lithuanian participation in Holocaust crimes and sparks chauvinistic sentiments. Recent threats to the Lithuanian Jewish community and signs of antisemitism highlight the problem. Lithuania accuses Russia of sowing domestic discord via fake news on this issue, but the problem is real and needs to be addressed.
