Lithuanian Prime Minister Gediminas Kirkilas has formed a new working group to decide the future of the controversial Snipiskes Jewish cemetery in Vilnius – which was reported HERE on YW. The government reported Aug 27 that the work group has been tasked with providing the prime minister with a plan of action regarding proposed construction works on the site and the establishment of a suitable memorial by the end of the year. Foreign Minister Petras Vaitiekunas was appointed the head of the work group.
US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has reportedly sent a letter to the Lithuanian government expressing her concern.

A “memorial” is not enough – the graves need to be protected from desecration.
