Vilnius Municipality Endorses Old Town Motorcycle Gala to Celebrate June 23rd

Posted on 21 June 2018 by Defending History



  JUNE 23rd MEMORIALS  |  EVENTS  |  OPINION  |  COLLABORATORS GLORIFIED  |  ANTISEMITISM

◊

With “extraordinary insensitivity” Vilnius Municipality again endorses Old Town motorcycle gala to celebrate June 23rd, day the Lithuanian Holocaust broke out (initiated by the LAF “heroes” being celebrated)

See Section on June 23rd; LAF; Their leaflets before the war;Videos of survivor memories of the week of 23 June 1941; Glorification of the LAF; of collaborators in Eastern Europe

The Defending History community continues to salute Dr. Valentinas Brandišauskas for his classic rebuttal of A. Liekis’s attempts to glorify the LAF and make its massacres into the basis for a national holiday

 

UPDATE: SEE JULIUS NORWILLA’S JUNE 23rd EYEWITNESS REPORT
