== Andre verdenskrig ==
Noreika, kjent som undergrunnslederen «general Storm» (litauisk: general Vėtra), var en av lederne for opprør mot sovjetstyrkene i Litauen etter andre verdenskrig. Han var en antikommunistisk helt i hjembyen Šukioniai.<ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-grandfather-lithuania-holocaust-accomplice-ron-grossman-20190108-story.html|tittel=She thought her grandfather was a Lithuanian hero.

Noreika Basic School in Sukioniai, where Mr. Noreika was born at the end of the hamlet’s only street in 1910. What shocked her, however, was not Ms. Foti’s discovery that her grandfather was complicit in the Holocaust — that was not really news to locals — but that a member of a patriotic émigré family had gone public and turned a private family matter into a public national shame. “We have all heard things about what Noreika did during the war,” Ms. Tamosiuniene said. “He obviously took the wrong path. But his granddaughter should have kept quiet. Every family has its ugly things, but they don’t talk about them. It is better to stay silent.”}}</ref><ref>{{Kilde avis|tittel=My grandfather wasn’t a Nazi-fighting war hero — he was a brutal collaborator|avis=Salon|url=https://www.salon.com/2018/07/14/my-grandfather-didnt-fight-the-nazis-as-family-lore-told-it-he-was-a-brutal-collaborator/|besøksdato=2018-11-08|etternavn=Foti|fornavn=Silvia|dato=2018-07-14|side=|språk=en-US|sitat=}}</ref><ref name=":1">Deane, A.
