Once regarded as a vibrant centre of intellectual, cultural and
spiritual Jewish life, Lithuania was home to 240,000 Jews prior to
the Nazi invasion of 1941. By war's end, less than 20,000 remained.
Today, approximately 4,000 Jews reside there, among them 108
survivors from the camps and ghettos and a further 70 from the
Partisans and Red Army. Against a backdrop of ongoing Holocaust
dismissal and a recent surge in anti-Semitic sentiment, Holocaust
Legacy in Post-Soviet Lithuania presents the history and
experiences of a group of elderly Holocaust survivors in modern-day
Vilnius. Using their stories and memories, their places of
significance as well as biographical objects, Shivaun Woolfson
considers the complexities surrounding Holocaust memory and legacy
in a post-Soviet era Lithuania. The book also incorporates
interdisciplinary elements of anthropology, psychology and
ethnography, and is informed at its heart by a spiritual approach
that marks it out from other more conventional historical
treatments of the subject. Holocaust Legacy in Post-Soviet
Lithuania includes 20 images, comes with comprehensive online
resources and weaves together story, artefact, monument and
landscape to provide a multidimensional history of the Lithuanian
Jewish experience during and after the Holocaust.
