75th Anniversary of Massacre of Jews in Moletai, Lithuania

Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite marked the anniversary of the massacre of some 2,000 Jews on Monday in the town of Moletai.

The president joined hundreds of people in commemorating the 75th year of the murders by the Nazi invaders and their Lithuanian collaborators.

During World War II more than 90 percent of the country’s 240,000 Jews were murdered.

This event was the first such commemoration to mark the massacre.
