That explains many things you have noted.<BR/><BR/>Jews theme in Baltic states is separate topic. As young citizen of Baltic state I can say what we think about Jews. Technically nothing - because we have not seen them. Old people can say something but not much either because Jews lived in ghettos separate life. It is sad to understand the fact what Baltic states lost because of Jews genocide but we must live further. Please, understand that NOBODY cares about Jews in Baltic states (not because we hate them or something like that but because they are just small part of our history). They are remembered only when politics begins - like this case. I think some Jews organizations should say some words about using their tragedy as political toy in Moscow hands.<BR/><BR/>Russian newspapers are not the best source of information in my opinion because they lack word of freedom and are controlled mostly by government. While they might contain some true information numbers might be real, but interpretation is one-sided, some information is missing.<BR/><BR/>Check some videos:<BR/>http://blogas.lt/liutauras/246990/riot-in-tallinn-estonia-self-explanatory-video.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793847675654579199.post-65150594153908639912007-04-30T08:41:00.000-04:002007-04-30T08:41:00.000-04:00That's funny, I thought that the monument was part...That's funny, I thought that the monument was partially celebrating when Jewish Estonians stopped being deported and killed.<BR/><BR/>"Last year, this organization marked Holocaust Day in Klooga for the first time by lighting 2,000 candles, one for each person shot to murdered here on September 19th, 1944. ...<BR/><BR/>Klooga, which was liberated on September 21th, 1944 by the Red Army, was one of the first sites where the mass shooting of Jews occurred. Such tragedies also took place in Ereda, where 2,000 people were killed in September 1944, and in Lagedi, where 500 Jews were murdered on September 18th, 1944. Concentration camps existing at these sites were part of the Vaivara network, which consisted of more than 20 camps. Another estimated 1,000 Estonian Jews were killed three months after the Nazi army entered Estonia in 1941."<BR/><BR/>There's a small Holocaust memorials in Estonia, and...<BR/><BR/>" Monument to Nazism victims in Kalevi Liyva, erected in place of mass executions of Soviet prisoners of war and Jews during WWII, is desecrated in Estonia, on April 12, a REGNUM correspondent was informed at Estonian Anti-Fascist Committee. Unknown persons left big amount of faeces on foundation of monument with David star. Committee’s activists recorded the desecration and put the monument into appropriate order.<BR/><BR/>It should be reminded, on April 11, International Day of Victims of Nazi Concentration Camps was commemorated. More than 20 concentration camps existed during German occupation in Estonia in 1941-1945, where more than 15,000 Soviet servicemen, more than 5,000 Jews, several thousands of Estonians, Gypsies, and representatives of other nations died. No republican newspaper in Estonian devoted its materials to the Day. The Museum of Estonian occupation did not react to the Memorial Day of Victims of Nazi Concentration Camps too."<BR/><BR/>This comes from a Russian newspaper, but is also likely true.Chris Randolphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708787725894726540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793847675654579199.post-45987246632469193042007-04-30T03:34:00.000-04:002007-04-30T03:34:00.000-04:00I think you don't get that they are not minority i...I think you don't get that they are not minority in the sense like homosexual people in USA. They are celebrating the day your father, mother or other relative was killed, they were deported and etc. Imagine situation that your relative was killed in Virginia recently and Koreans build sculpture for that killer in center of your city.

What the current Estonian government did was to try and erase some history in order to make a minority group feel unwelcome. It worked.
