Lithuanian prime minister Ingrida Šimonytė issued a statement on the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, January 27, saying: “There is no statute of limitation on crimes against humanity, and as the years pass the scope of the tragedy becomes ever clearer. We lost a large community who built Lithuania to the Holocaust and the loss of that community made us impoverished. This painful testament compels the generations to carry shared responsibility for what happened, the burden of that, and to exert all efforts to insure it is never repeated. I invite everyone not just to remember the tragedy of the Holocaust today by paying tribute to the calendar, but to remember every day to practice tolerance and human respect.”
