It's 2024, and in Lithuania, we are asked to feel ashamed of ourselves, because our grandparents did not rise up against the Soviet Jews, the Holocaust, and the removal of our own people. This is because the Lithuanian state has created a false narrative of the Holocaust, portraying the Jews as responsible for the Soviet occupation of Lithuania and the deportation of Lithuanians to Siberia.<br><br>Now, the Lithuanian state is exposed to international criticism for its manipulation of history and the spread of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. This is because documents from the Lithuanian government ministries have been uncovered, revealing that they have been spreading the false narrative of the Holocaust. This is ironic, as the Lithuanian state has always portrayed Lithuania as a country that, alone among all other occupied and collaborating nations, responded to the German occupation and the Holocaust with a resistance movement. The Lithuanian state now tries to shift the blame for its own failed policies onto Jews, even the Holocaust victims.
