QUOTE
March of one of Lithuania's main Neo-Nazi organizations. Visible are the modified Swastikas protected under Lithuanian law as cultural symbols. Despite its overt Fascist nature the league is partly funded by the Lithuanian government and even more incredibly,is also the recipient of EU funding. The marchers can be clearly heard jeering Antifa, Lithuania's Anti-Fascist organization. As with previous marches by the league there were virtually no counter demonstrators. The league is known for its ardent xenophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim feeling, anti-Roma racism, homophobic prejudice and bigotry towards people of color. In its white supremacist views the league supports the Holocaust Revisionism so pervasive in Lithuanian society, also endorsed by the Lithuanian state, many academic institutions and the Lithuanian Catholic Church. An EU study on social tolerance in Europe carried out in 2010 described Lithuania as the "most intolerant" country in the European Union. Last May the remains of Lithuania's wartime Nazi collaborationist leader, Juozas Ambrazevicius Brazaitis, were repatriated and given state honors with a military honor guard and former President Adamkus in attendance. The Archbishop of Kaunas said mass for the puppet leader and said he was a man "who loved god and loved Lithuania". Ambrazevicius legally enacted the orders which allowed the slaughter and deportation of Lithuania's Jewish population. Between 1941 and 1944, largely at the hands of other Lithuanians, some 196.000 of Lithuania's 210,000 Jews were murdered, the most complete near total extermination in the whole of the Holocaust in all of occupied Europe. The leader of the league Julius Panka denies this and the role played by the wartime puppet leader. Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas has a lecture hall named in honor of Ambrazevicius. During the Second World War Lithuanian militia and security police served as Nazi alllies in the Ukraine, Belarus and Poland, notably as guards in the Majdanek concentration camp and in the crushing of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Throughout the war, very few Lithuanians fought in the resistance against German occupation and many of these were Lithuanian Jews, but the Jewish fighters, such as those in the partisan group known as the FPO, are not commemorated in the National War Museum in Kaunas, which strangely lacks any exhibits from 1941 to 1945. No EU embassy nor the US embassy in Vilnius condemned today's march.
