    I always wondered how the US could be so cruel to lock up 120.000 people into camps during WW2, for simply having Japanese descent. I thought we had outgrown such overt bigotry as a species. But it turns out the war machine whips even the most respectable people into a xenophobic frenzy.

      These are not Lithuanians of russian descent. They are specifically foreign citizens living in Lithuania.
