Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Kaunas massacre of October 29, 1941 be merged into Kaunas pogrom. The subject of the two articles is identical and so, too, should be the content. The Gnome (talk) 08:39, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, TheGnoem. I'm writing articles about the Holocaust in Lithuania for the Lithuanian Wikipedia. The two events are completely different and should be kept separate. The pogrom in Kaunas happened right after Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union and was perpetrated by Lithuanians as a "pogrom" of their own will, though perhaps encouraged by the SS, in the city. The Kaunas massacre of October 29 happened several months later and was a highly organized affair ordered by the German SS. There were many more such killings in Kaunas. --AndriusKulikauskas (talk) 04:51, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Kaunas massacre of October 29, 1941. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Ninth Fort[edit]

During my time in Lithuania in the 1990s, this event was generally referred to as the Ninth Fort Massacre. In any case, some explanation should be offered in the article about why the place was called the Ninth Fort and when it was built, by whom.

Perhaps the article could be expanded with information from the Jäger Report article. Sca (talk) 19:04, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Crimes against humanity category removal[edit]

Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
