SIAULIAI, LITHUANIA - AUGUST 13, 2018: A stone with Yiddish text, taken from a Jewish gravestone, makes up part of a wall that was built in 1965, when the local Jewish cemetery was closed, on Monday, August 13, 2018 in Siauliai, Lithuania. Lithuania is being asked to grapple with its World War II history as evidence recently published by the granddaughter of Jonas Noreika, who is often hailed as a hero who fought for Lithuanian independence, implicates him in the mass murder of Jews during the country's Nazi occupation.
