The Entanglement of historical experiences: the memory of the soviet deportation of Lithuanian Jews

ENThe return of memory during the popular movement in the late 1980s in Lithuania was focussed on the crimes of Stalinism, not the Holocaust. The first was seen as belonging to Lithuanian memory and identity and the latter as a matter of concern only to Jews. This opposition has been eroded in the past decade by growing awareness of the entanglement of historical experiences, including the collaboration of ethnic Lithuanians with the Nazis, and the fact that the deportations of 1941 affected all Lithuanian citizens irrespective of ethnicity or religion, including Jews. This article contributes both to the belated emergence of the Jewish memory of deportation and to a more nuanced account of the period, by relating the experience and recollections of Jewish deportees. Keywords: Trauma. Memory. Holocaust. Deportation. Lithuania. [From the publication]
