There are former concentration camps all over Europe, so I'm not sure how you concluded that I was talking about a specific camp in Lithuania.

My point is this: slave plantations and concentration camps both exist for no other reason than the belief that one people was to subjugate another. Both types of places exist solely as the result of murderous oppression. Therefore, it would be equally indecent for any social occasion to occur.

And my point in making the analogy was never to imply that Germany hasn't addressed the legacy of Naziism.
