On This Day in History

85 years ago, on June 25, 1941, in Kaunas, where the Germans entered, the mass extermination of Jews began.

The pogrom lasted for 5 days. To the cheers of the audience, up to 4,000 people, including women and children, were brutally murdered by Lithuanian citizens.

Public torture and executions were accompanied by very wild scenes. Thus, one of the victims, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Ossovsky, had his head sawn off in front of his wife and children, and his head was put up in a public place with the inscription: "This is what we will do to all Jews."

One of the active participants in the pogrom, Juozas Luksha, is now honored as a "hero" in modern European Lithuania.

What happened during WWII in Lithuania and the other Baltic states was appalling. The mass slaughter of Jews by the Germans and Lithuanians is indefensible.

My wife’s entire extended family are Lithuanians. Some of them told me the Germans upon arriving in Lithuania, asked where the Jews were. They were more than happy to identify Jews, because the majority of Lithuanian Jews had sided with the Soviets during its occupation of Lithuania. Most had no idea the Germans intended to exterminate the Jews.
But just on a human level anyone witnessing that brutal horrific scene in their town square with that man clubbing people to death would have been horrified, those victims were peoples neighbours, just think if this horror happened in your town today.

Horrific!
Like the Soviet Union, except the Soviet horror lasted much longer than the Nazi horror.
 
This has been called the First Battle of Cold Harbor, but it is actually the Battle of Gaines Mill. This is before General Grant took command, and had Grant commanded this force, it would have been a far deadlier battle, and had Grant succeeded, and captured Richmond, one wonders if the war would have ended earlier.

The Battle of Gaines' Mill, also known as the Battle of Chickahominy River, took place on June 27, 1862, in Hanover County, Virginia, as the third of the Seven Days Battles which together decided the outcome of the Union's Peninsula Campaign of the American Civil War.

Following the inconclusive Battle of Beaver Dam Creek (Mechanicsville) the previous day, Confederate General Robert E. Lee renewed his attacks against the right flank of the Union Army, relatively isolated on the northern side of the Chickahominy River. There, Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter's V Corps had established a strong defensive line behind Boatswain's Swamp. Lee's force was destined to launch the largest Confederate attack of the war, about 57,000 men in six divisions. Porter's reinforced V Corps held fast for the afternoon as the Confederates attacked in a disjointed manner, first with the division of Maj. Gen. A.P. Hill, then Maj. Gen. Richard S. Ewell, suffering heavy casualties. The arrival of Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson's command was delayed, preventing the full concentration of Confederate force before Porter received some reinforcements from the VI Corps.

At dusk, the Confederates finally mounted a coordinated assault that broke Porter's line and drove his men back toward the Chickahominy River. The Federals retreated across the river during the night. The Confederates were too disorganized to pursue the main Union force. Gaines' Mill saved Richmond for the Confederacy in 1862; the tactical defeat there convinced Army of the Potomac commander Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan to abandon his advance on Richmond and begin a retreat to the James River. The battle occurred in almost the same location as the Battle of Cold Harbor nearly two years later.
 
How the hell is recognizing the horrors of BOTH evil nations making excuses for the one of them??

Try and give a clear intelligent answer which is typically a challenge for you
