‘Weekly of Vilnius’ Is Again Only Vilnius Publication to Give Both Sides of Story

VILNIUS—Once again, The Weekly of Vilnius, considered by some to be this city’s most prestigious English-language news-and-analysis publication, was the only major media outlet here to “give both sides of the story” on the recent court judgment of Lithuania’s Supreme Administrative Court’s 1 April decision in effect proclaiming that Holocaust collaborator J. Noreika is a national hero, unblemished by his involvement in the ghettoization, pillaging and destruction of thousands of his fellow citizens who were Jewish. Various state institutions, most notoriously the far-right Genocide Research Center, continue to spend lavishly on the glorification of Holocaust collaborators. See Defending History’s report, which includes links to other media coverage in Lithuanian and English.

A PDF facsimile of the Weekly of Vilnius report, in its issue for 30 March to 5 April 2020, follows (with permission of the publishers). Please use the arrows in the upper left hand corner to turn pages in either direction.
