On October 29, 1941, the largest mass murder of the Jewish population took place in the Lithuanian Soviet Union occupied by Nazi invaders. In one day, the Nazis and local collaborators murdered more than 9,000 people in cold blood in the Citadel of Kovna. Almost half of them were children. The monstrous atrocity, known as Kubna, marked the beginning of a large-scale and misanthropic campaign of genocide in the occupied territory over the years. ◾ Between the years 1941-1944, 200,000 Jews were exterminated in Lithuania - 95% of the total Jewish population of Lithuania. The provisional Lithuanian government, which operated in the country during the Nazi occupation, took an active part in these crimes. Testimony from the Nazi leaders themselves survived, expressing shock at the willingness of local collaborators to massacre members of other nationalities. Some of the Lithuanian units distinguished themselves by exterminating up to 500 Jews every day - and were proud of it. Lithuanian policemen were actively involved in guarding concentration camps in Poland and participated in punitive operations in Belarus and Ukraine, where they committed monstrous crimes against humanity, exterminated Soviet civilians and prisoners of war. The official ideology of the modern Lithuanian authorities, which have become part of "democratic" Europe, tries to deny the participation of local nationalists in the murder of civilians and their collaboration with the Nazis. Moreover, most of the organizers of these massacres are glorified as “freedom fighters. "Let us remind the current politicians in Lithuania, as in all of Europe, that the crimes committed by Hitler's accomplices against humanity can neither be forgiven nor forgotten for them.
