Estonia is perhaps the only country in Europe that lacks a
comprehensive history of its Jewish minority. Spanning over 150
years of Estonian Jewish history, On the Margins is a truly unique
book. Rebuilding a life beyond so-called Pale of Jewish Settlement
in the Russian Empire, the Jewish cultural autonomy in interwar
Estonia, and the trauma of Soviet occupation of 1940-41 are among
the issues addressed in the book but most profoundly, the book
wrestles with the subject of the Holocaust and its legacy in
Estonia. Specifically, it examines the quasi-legal system of murder
instituted in Nazi-occupied Estonia, confiscation of Jewish
property, and Jewish forced labor camps and develops an analysis of
the causes of collaboration during the Holocaust. The book also
explores the dynamics of war crimes trials in the Soviet Union
since the 1960s and so-called denaturalization trials in the United
States in the 1980s. The haunting memory of Soviet and Nazi rule,
the book concludes, prevents a larger segment of today's Estonian
population from facing up to the Holocaust and the universal
message that it carries.
