Shliach Attacked by Lithuanian Anti-Semitic Paper
A photo of Chabad emissary to Lithuania Rabbi Sholom-Ber Krinsky appears under a headline that reads: THE JEWS see no need to pay ‘Sodra’ taxes.
European and North American human rights activists may have thought that the Lithuanian newspaper Vakaro žinios (‘The Evening News’) could not outdo its past antisemitic sensations, but the 21 December, 2011 edition full front page with a huge banner headline ‘THE JEWS’ may herald a new low in the series of 1930s grade disseminations of hate against Lithuania’s tiny and shrinking Jewish minority (around 95% of the country’s Jewish population was killed during the Holocaust).
