Do they also teach this in Estonia?
Holocaust in Estonia 1941 - 1944
Estonia had a Jewish population of 4,500 people before the war. In Lithuania in particular, and Latvia and Estonia to some extent, there was an already existing foundation of anti-Semitism.[1] The German Nazis were able to use these feelings in certain segments of the local population to incite them into collaboration with their anti-Jewish policies. One of the significant aspects of The Holocaust in the Baltics is the fact that the Germans were able to solicit executioners from the local population. Prior to the German invasion of Russia, Jews in other German occupied countries were being ghettoized and murdered, but not to the extent and with the swiftness that happened in the Baltic countries [1].
Map titled "Jewish Executions Carried Out by Einsatzgruppe A" from the December 1941 Jager Report by the commander of a Nazi death squad. Marked "Secret Reich Matter," the map shows the number of Jews shot in Ostland, and reads at the bottom: "the estimated number of Jews still on hand is 128,000". Estonia is marked as judenfrei.Round-ups and killings of Jews began immediately following the arrival of the first German troops in 1941, who were closely followed by the extermination squad Einsatzkommando (Sonderkommando) 1A, part of Einsatzgruppe A. Arrests and executions continued as the Germans, with the assistance of local collaborators, advanced through Estonia. About 75% of Estonia's Jewish community, aware of the fate that otherwise awaited them, managed to escape to the Soviet Union; [1] virtually all the remainder (between 950 and 1000 men, women and children) were killed before the end of 1941. Fewer than a dozen Estonian Jews are known to have survived the war in Estonia. The Nazi regime also established 22 concentration and labor camps in Estonia for foreign Jews, the largest, Vaivara, had 20,000 Jewish prisoners pass through its gates, and several thousand foreign Jews were killed at the Kalevi-Liiva camp.

[edit] Estonian military units' involvement in crimes against humanity
An International Commission for the Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity [2] has reviewed the role of Estonian military units and police battalions in an effort to identify the role of Estonian military units and police battalions participation during the World War II in following actions: escorting Jews deported from Vilnius to camps in Estonia; providing guards for the Vaivara camp complex, the camps at Tartu, Jägala, Tallinn, and camps for Soviet POWs, in all of which prisoners were killed; guarding the transit camp for Jews at Izbica in Poland, where a significant number of Jews were killed; providing guards to prevent the escape of Jews being rounded up in several towns in Poland, including Lodz, Przemysl, Rzeszow, and Tarnopol; and the roundup and mass shooting of the Jewish population of at least one town in Belarus (Novogrudok). Conclusions of the Estonian International Commission for the Investigation of Crimes Against Humanity.[2]

Many of those Estonians were filthy pigs and killers and deserved every bit of their so-called suffering.
