The main objective of the book is to allocate the grass roots
initiatives of remembering the Holocaust victims in a particular
region of Russia which has a very diverse ethnic structure and
little presence of Jews at the same time. It aims to find out how
such individual initiatives correspond to the official Russian
hero-orientated concept of remembering the Second World war with
almost no attention to the memory of war victims, including
Holocaust victims. North Caucasus became the last address of
thousands of Soviet Jews, both evacuees and locals. While there was
almost no attention paid to the Holocaust victims in the official
Soviet propaganda in the postwar period, local activists and
historians together with the members of Jewish communities
preserved Holocaust memory by installing small obelisks at the
killing sites, writing novels and making documentaries, teaching
about the Holocaust at schools and making small thematic
exhibitions in the local and school museums. Individual types of
grass roots activities in the region on remembering Holocaust
victims are analyzed in each chapter of the book.
