Four years after the release of my documentary Baltic Truth—a film I made alone, practically without the backing of any major Jewish organization, on a budget I scraped together myself—the evidence keeps confirming the thesis. Lithuania’s latest exhibit of institutional contradiction comes from a regional museum website.

The Kėdainių krašto muziejus, a Lithuanian state-funded museum, publishes on its official website a detailed account of Lithuanian participation in the murder of 2,076 Jews in Kėdainiai on August 28, 1941. The text, authored by Dr. Arūnas Bubnys—former head of the LGGRTC’s Genocide Research Department and subsequently LGGRTC director—names Lithuanian perpetrators by name, rank, and institutional role. It documents the chain of command from the Lithuanian Provisional Government to the local police unit. It records the ghetto, the expropriation, the coordination meeting held the night before, and the massacre itself: 710 men, 767 women, 599 children shot at the Smilga River. It records that afterward, the perpetrators gathered at a local resident’s home and celebrated.

This text is published on Lithuanian state infrastructure, funded by Lithuanian state money, accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

Artur Fridman, a private Jewish Lithuanian citizen, posted on Facebook about the Holocaust in Lithuania. The state charged him with a criminal offense under Case No. 02-2-00512-24.

Fridman did not record property transferred to perpetrators after the murders. The museum did. The museum page is more detailed, more specific, and more damning than anything Fridman posted. No prosecution has been opened against the museum or against Bubnys. The only operative difference is that Fridman is a Jew, and the museum is a state........
