VILNIUS: FOLLOWING DEFENDING HISTORY’S YEARS LONG CAMPAIGN AGAINST PUBLIC HONORS FOR HOLOCAUST COLLABORATORS, HEAD OF JEWISH COMMUNITY FAINA KUKLIANSKY SENDS POWERFUL, COURAGEOUS LETTER TO VILNIUS MAYOR CALLING FOR REMOVAL OF A PUBLIC PLAQUE HONORING HOLOCAUST PERPETRATOR JONAS NOREIKA (NOREIKA INSCRIPTION ON CAPITAL’S CENTRAL BLVD NOT YET MENTIONED).
-
THE LETTER, APPLICABLE TO MULTIPLE SITES (AND MULTIPLE MAYORS!) IN EASTERN EUROPE, IS OF HISTORIC IMPORTANCE. OBSERVERS WAIT TO SEE WHICH INTERNATIONAL JEWISH, HUMAN RIGHTS (AND OTHER) ORGANIZATIONS WILL SUPPORT KUKLIANSKY’S LETTER.
