On the 26 -27 January, 2012 more than 80 Lithuanian general education schools commemorated the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The vast majority of schools belong to the Tolerance Education Centre network. This year a project “The Butterflies” was initiated. 
More than 1000 schools and the other institutions together commemorated the 21-st anniversary of the Soviet aggression and attempt of a military coup d’état in Lithuania. According to first estimates more than 100 000 Lithuanian citizens – mostly students – participated in the Freedom Defenders Day civil initiative “The Memory is live because it proclaims”. 
On the 13th of January all schools, Tolerance Education Centres, different institutions and enterprises are invited to join the traditional civil initiative “The Memory is live because it proclaims” initiated by The International Commission for the Evaluation of the Crimes of the Nazi and Soviet Occupation Regimes in Lithuania. On the 13th January the Freedom Defenders Day at eight o’clock in the morning the memory candles will be lighted in the windows for ten minutes to let people feel the consolidation of Lithuanian nation that was especially strong on the day of 13th January, 1991. The flames reminded us the tragic days when the Lithuanian society was united by strong values and ideas that helped to resist against the aggression of soviet invaders and local collaborates and attempt of a military coup d’état in Lithuania.
