This remarkable book traces the quest for the truth about the
Holocaust in Lithuania by two ostensible enemies: RÅ«ta a
descendant of the perpetrators, Efraim a descendant of the victims.
RÅ«ta VanagaitÄ—, a best-selling Lithuanian writer, was motivated
by her recent discoveries that some of her relatives had played a
role in the mass murder of Jews and that Lithuanian officials had
tried to hide the complicity of local collaborators. Efraim Zuroff,
a noted Israeli Nazi-hunter, had both professional and personal
motivations. He had worked for years to bring Lithuanian war
criminals to justice and to compel local authorities to tell the
truth about the Holocaust in their country. The fact that his
maternal grandparents were born in Lithuania and that he was named
for a great-uncle who was murdered with his family in Vilnius with
the active help of Lithuanians made his search personal as well.
Journey with an Enemy exposes the significant role played by local
political leaders and the prewar Lithuanian administration that
remained in place during the Nazi occupation in implementing the
Nazis’ Final Solution. It also tackles the sensitive issue of the
motivation of thousands of ordinary Lithuanians in the murder of
their Jewish neighbors. At the heart of the book, these are the
issues that RÅ«ta and Efraim discuss, debate, and analyze as they
crisscross the country to visit dozens of Holocaust mass murder
sites in Lithuania and neighboring Belarus. During the journey,
they searched for neglected graves, interviewed eyewitnesses, and
looked for traces of the rich Jewish life that had existed in
hundreds of Jewish communities throughout Lithuania. This
compelling book recounts their harrowing journey.
