Focusing on the specific character of Lithuanian Jewry, the volume opens by examining how their relationship with the surrounding society developed after 1772, both under tsarist rule and then in independent Lithuania. Moving to more recent times, the devastating impact on the Jewish community of the Soviet and Nazi occupations during the Second World War is discussed, as are the further negative consequences on Jewish life of the reoccupation of the country by the Soviets between 1944 and 1990. The volume concludes with material on the slow revival of Jewish life since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the re-emergence of an independent Lithuania, which was accompanied by the revival of many disciplines, such as the study of Jewish history, repressed by Soviet censorship. This revived interest in the country's Jewish past is now playing a key role in the broader transformation of historical memory of the post-Soviet era and the problem of coming to terms with the widespread local collaboration in Lithuania during the Holocaust -- a process which has led to important scholarly advances but also to bitter controversy. Collectively, the studies in this volume contribute to a better understanding of the complex history of the Jews in Lithuania and of Lithuanian-Jewish relations and constitute a part of the necessary process of creating a more rounded and inclusive history of the country."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aPolin (Series) 410 0$aLittman library of Jewish civilization (Series) 606 $aJews$zLithuania$xHistory 606 $aJews$zLithuania$xCivilization 606 $aJews$zLithuania$xSocial conditions 606 $aJews$zLithuania$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xCivilization. 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aJews$xEconomic conditions. 701 $aFreeze$b ChaeRan Y$0980505 701 $aLiekis$b S?aru?nas, 1969-$01204425 701 $aPolonsky$b Antony$0539578 712 02$aInstitute for Polish-Jewish Studies (Oxford, England) 712 02$aAmerican Association for Polish-Jewish Studies. 801 0$bNyNyACL 801 1$bNyNyACL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248233303316 996 $aJews in the Former Grand Duchy of Lithuania Since 1772$92779425 997 $aUNISA
