The meaning of the word genocide in Lithuania is somewhat at odds with that of the generally understood connotation. As part of the almost silent debate currently surrounding the little-known Prague Declaration of June 3, 2008, which is attempting to put pressure on the governments of Europe to recognise communist crimes against humanity as equal to those perpetrated by the Nazis (the so-called Double Genocide theory), Vilnius University's Professor Dovid Katz, who is research director at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute, has recently become the editor of a new website aimed at, in his own words ‘…providing The Second Opinion…’ on this hugely complex and emotional issue. Still in its early stages, the website is building a database of related material and links on the subject of the Holocaust in the Baltics and the Double Genocide issue in general.
