Eastern European governments have engaged in Holocaust revisionism by denying the culpability of their nationals and elevating murders to hero status. There is a pervasive effort to blame Nazis universally and whitewash national guilt for Holocaust crimes. Lithuania is the most egregious example and has an entire government department dedicated to revising Holocaust history. Much has been written about Polish, Ukrainian and Hungarian revisionism, but Lithuania has turned it into an art form.
