Historians are worried by a bill that could allow censorship of historical memory

The Lithuanian Parliament is discussing a bill on the historical memory of the nation that, if adopted, would impose one historical understanding – that of a National Historical Memory Council. The authors of the bill argue that the proposed legislation would only replace the Remembrance Day law, which is even now constantly added to.

However, the country's historians see in it the possibility of censoring history. Some are particularly worried by the proposed creation of a National Historical Memory Council.
