Filmed at the Ninth Fort Museum in Kaunas with the museum’s educators, this interview reflects on how easily fear and misinformation can shape human behavior.

By revisiting the Holocaust and periods of occupation in Lithuania, the educators highlight how propaganda and laws can turn people against one another—and why learning from these patterns is essential today. Understanding history helps us recognize how information, when misused, can become one of the most dangerous weapons.
