The Kaunas Synagogue is an Orthodox congregation in Lithuania. The 2015 opening described a 2011 incident: 'a sign saying "Jews out" and "Hitler was right"... were hung in front of the synagogue, a clearly anti-Semitic act.' Today's opening says nothing about it, and the word antisemitism appears nowhere in the article, count zero. A reader today does not learn that antisemitic signs invoking Hitler were hung at this synagogue on the anniversary of his birthday in 2011.
