From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was photographed by Wehrmacht soldiesr not SS. It is also known that Gestapo didn't want that these photographs would be taken, especially with german soldiers in the backgrund. For the 5 000 killed there is no documental evidence and it is diputable. Altough there is no denial of the fact, that pogroms were going on.--Lokyz 09:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Killing of Jews in Kaunas by Lithuanian nationalists - I object to the unmotivated use of the word Lithuanian nationalists in the title of this picture. Why not Lithuanian Nazi-collaborators?? Lithuanian nationalism can be attributed to Provisional Government of Lithuania; led by Juozas Ambrazevičius, which existed for a few weeks before it gave up all its authority to Reichskommissariat Ostland. On the other hand, the person allegedly involved in the pogroms - Algirdas Klimaitis and the rebels were not subordinate to the Lithuanian provisional government, and the pogroms were instigated by German army - SS and SD. See also [1] for the modern Lithuanian historians' analysis of these events (the title reads The rebels of June 1941 - national heroes or agents of Nazism?, the study is done by the Research centre of Lithuanian peoples' genocide and resistance movement). In any case this seems a totally inappropriate illustration for the article on Nationalism (see Nationalism) - especially the Lithuanian one. To shift the responsibility for anti-Semitic atrocities to Lithuanian nationalism is just Nazi propaganda. 15.207.255.7 18:25, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
