There are many memorials and museums to the murdered Jews, and a 3 hour tour on the topic which I decided not to do. I hope it’s suitably detailed and terrible and the young people go.
“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. The Holocaust resulted in the largest-ever loss of life in so short a period of time in the history of Lithuania.”
