Lithuanian
historian very upset ABCD Vilnius
- Lithuanian historian Dr Petras Stankeras (photo) was criticized for his thoughts about the
'Nuremberg Military Court Tribunal', published November 14, 2010, in the
weekly 'Veidas' 
 .
Stankeras wrote that the 'Nuremberg trial' was 'the biggest legal farce in
history', and that during the Nuremberg trial the legend about six million supposedly murdered Jews acquired a legal
basis, even though the court did not have a single document signed by Adolf Hitler concerning the extermination of Jews. On Thursday, ambassadors
of Britain, Estonia, France, Finland, Holland, Norway and Sweden sent a letter to
Lithuania's interior minister Raimundas Palaitis expressing dissatisfaction over the article.
Subsequently, Stankeras submitted a request to be relieved of his job as a
'Senior Specialist at the Action Planning and Organization Department of the General Department of the Interior Ministry'.
He is very upset and can't understand what he has done wrong. As regards
his words that the Nuremberg process was clearly an unfair legal investigation,
Stankeras said he is confirmed by a plethora of articles from abroad.
There have been several hundred articles on this topic in the world media
which confirm that this was 'victors' justice against the vanquished'.
The publisher
of 'Veidas' reminded that a historical debate on the 'crimes committed by the victorious allies'
is being discussed in the Western media, hence Veidas had decided to contribute to it also.
