A Lithuanian lawmaker from the country’s ruling Homeland Union party has drawn widespread condemnation for claiming Jews took part in the Holocaust.
In an opinion piece in the Lithuanian-language version of Russia’s Sputnik news site on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Valdas Rakutis said, „There was no shortage of Holocaust perpetrators among the Jews themselves, especially in the ghetto self-government structures. We must name these people out loud and do our best to ensure that there are no people like them again.“
