HMTC hosted a program with Silvia Foti, an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of The Nazi's Granddaughter: How I Discovered My Grandfather Was A War Criminal, who spoke about how she discovered an official cover-up by the Lithuanian government about her grandfather’s role in the Holocaust. Her grandmother had urged her to “Just let history lie,” but Silvia did not understand the scale of what she would uncover. We learned about the way Holocaust history is distorted for national goals in Lithuania and in other countries of the former Soviet Union.
