• April 2010: The Wiesenthal Center’s Dr. Efraim Zuroff comments (in the Guardian) on the American ambassador’s assurance that “The United States and Lithuania are partners in the fight against antisemitism and in efforts to address the legacy of the Holocaust” bereft of any mention of the “slight problems,” e.g. state-sanctioned neo-Nazi marches on independence day, attempted prosecution of Holocaust survivors, glorification of Nazi perpetrators, disturbing comments by top officials and a general decline into the acceptability of antisemitism.

  ◊

• June 2010: There is no comment from the embassy or the State Department about the effective criminalization of the view that the Holocaust was the one genocide in twentieth century Lithuania. The law passed is a major reversal of free speech.
• ◊
• November 2010: The world’s last active association of Lithuanian Holocaust survivors writes to the American ambassador in Vilnius asking for clarification of a 64,000 euro grant application for the benefit of the Lithuanian government’s Holocaust-manipulation projects. They did not receive a reply.
• ◊
• November 2010 (b): Seven ambassadors in Vilnius write to the nation’s leaders concerning antisemitism and Holocaust Obfuscation with mention of that year’s legalization of swastikas. The American ambassador is not one of them.  Nor did the American embassy follow the example of the Polish ambassador, who issued a public letter separately.
• ◊
• November 2010 (c): The Wiesenthal Center’s Dr. Efraim Zuroff (in the Guardian) asks why the Prague Declaration and virtually all other current Holocaust and Holocaust education issues remain unmentioned at a Vilnius conference on the subject convened by the American embassy.
• ◊
• December 2010: Dovid Katz reports (in Tablet magazine) on the Holocaust education conference convened by the American embassy in Vilnius.
• ◊
• December 2010 (b): Dovid Katz (in the Guardian) explores theories concerning the American State Department’s seeming acquiescence to the antisemitically tainted Double Genocide politics in the Baltic states.
• ◊
• May 2011:  First reports emerge about the alleged US embassy demand that Holocaust historian Dr. Efraim Zuroff, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Israel office, be dropped from the SLS (Summer Literary Seminars) “Jewish Lithuania” program  as a condition for the allocation of embassy funding for the program. Subsequent report.
• ◊
• November 2011:  Geoff Vasil reports (in DefendingHistory.com) on another US embassy supported conference in Vilnius which was “cooked” to include only pro-government opinions on the issues of the Holocaust, Holocaust education, tolerance education, and antisemitism in Lithuania. He reports on the Intourist-style cordon imposed on the visiting US envoy on antisemitism, as if to ensure she hears no contrary opinions during her visit.
• ◊
• November 2011 (b): Dovid Katz comments (in the Algemeiner Journal) on the same conference and the degree to which it was manipulated to present a single point of view, that of the Lithuanian government, while excluding all others.
• ◊
• February-March 2012: The American Embassy maintains complete public silence on the city-center Nazi marches planned for both Lithuanian independence days (Feb 16th and March 11th), even after the statement of its close mentor on these issues,  MP Emanuelis Zingeris, which failed to even mention the march it was supposed to be dealing with. In the case of March 11th, the embassy uses support for a separate and later pro-tolerance march as the excuse of its silence, but then tells US citizens in town to stay away from both in a statement applying moral equivalence to the pro-Nazi and pro-tolerance marches.
• ◊
• May 2012: The embassy finances the “camouflage symposium” during the week of repatriation of the remains (from the US) of the 1941 Nazi puppet prime minister. The symposium, concerning the Lithuanian Holocaust, did not even mention the reburial festivities underway the same week. It was headlined by Professor Timothy Snyder and featured Yivo director Jonathan Brent. Video here. Open letter here. Debates on Snyder’s Bloodlands here.
• ◊
• May 2012 (b): The embassy issues an ambiguous statement on the reburial and glorification of the 1941 Nazi puppet prime minister. Efforts to hush up the entire affair began to collapse in September 2012 when three US congressmen issued a morally clear statement.
• ◊
• September 2012:  Members of a US Holocaust Museum related historical tour to Lithuania report that during their stay in Vilnius they were urged by US embassy officials not to contact DefendingHistory.com or those in agreement with its criticisms of current Lithuanian policy.
• ◊
• September 2012 (b): Three US congressmen write to the prime minister of Lithuania, citing the authority of the same Wiesenthal Center Holocaust historian whom the US embassy in Lithuania had effectively blackballed from the Summer Literary Seminars programs.
• ◊
• October 2012:  Having completed her ambassadorship in Vilnius, Lithuania in September, former Ambassador Anne Derse agrees to provide the opening comments at a New York Yivo evening featuring Markas Zingeris, the official “advisor on genocide” to the prime minister of Lithuania,  as someone “at the center of recent struggles concerning Lithuanian Jewry.” Efraim Zuroff comments in The Times of Israel. 
• 
  
• October 2012 (b): Meanwhile in Vilnius, the US embassy’s Jonathan M. Berger, a relative of Arthur Berger of the DC Holocaust Museum, proudly announced American support for the red-brown commission’s reconstitution. There was no mention of the resignations on principle by Sir Martin Gilbert (London), Prof. Gershon Greenberg (Washington, DC), Prof. Konrad Kwiet (Sydney) and Prof. Dov Levin (Jerusalem). Nor was there any mention of the Commission’s support for the 2008 Prague Declaration; the outrageous Holocaust distortion of its own executive director, in speeches to the Lithuanian parliament and on-the-record  interviews; or the dissent expressed over the years by Holocaust survivors and their advocates.

• Inexplicably, it seemed the American embassy had become the uncritical spokesperson for Lithuanian government Holocaust policy.
