INTRODUCTION On June 22, 1941, Adolf Hitler launched an invasion of the So- viet Union.1 Under the plan for this attack, known as Operation Bar- barossa, Russia was to become an eastern annex of the German Reich, helping to consolidate Hitler's plan of a master Aryan race. 2 Consequently, Operation Barbarossa had two objectives, the military conquest of the Soviet Union and the extermination of Soviet Jews.3 The group whose responsibility it was to effectuate the elimination of the Jews in Russia were mobile killing units of SS troops called 4 Einsatzgruppen. In carrying out Operation Barbarossa, Hitler and his army set out to conquer the Baltic countries of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.5 In Latvia, the Einsatzgruppen formed the locals into the Arjs Kom- mando whose only purpose was to kill all the Jews of Latvia.6 In 1942, an Einsatzgruppe A report to Berlin stated, "'The number of Jews in Latvia in 1935 was 93,479-4.79 percent of the entire popula- tion ...

Library British Library of Political and Economic Science Abstract This study investigates the interplay of collective memories and national identity in Estonia, and uses life story interviews with members of the intellectual elite as the primary source. I view collective memory not as a monolithic homogenous unit, but as subdivided into various group memories that can be conflicting. The conflict line between ‘Estonian victims’ and ‘Russian perpetrators* figures prominently in the historical culture of post-Soviet Estonia. However, by setting an ethnic Estonian memory against a ‘Soviet Russian’ memory, the official historical narrative fails to account for the complexity of the various counter-histories and newly emerging identities activated in times of socio-political ‘transition’.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.

    Toomas Hiio Vabariigi Presidendi Mõttekojas 24. aprillil 2007 1990. aastate teisel poolel, kui Eesti, aga ka Läti ja Leedu üha julgemalt teatasid oma taotlusest liituda Euroopa Liidu ja NATOga, hakati ühe eeldusena selleks rääkima ja kirjutama sellest, et Eesti, nagu ka Läti ja Leedu peaksid tegelema oma lähiminevikuga toimetulekuga, mis on üks üsna kohmakas tõlge saksa terminist Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Loomulikult peeti sel ajal selle all eelkõige silmas eestlaste, lätlaste ja leedulaste osalemist juutide tapmises ja juutide vastastes repressioonides Teise maailmasõja ajal. Eesti avalikkuses oli sellest asjast teistsugune pilt, üldine ajalooteadvus rõhutas eeskätt Nõukogude Liidu repressioone Eesti elanikkonna vastu, mille ulatus ja tähendus ning teadmine millest oli Eestis palju suurem kui juutide tapmisest Teise maailmasõja ajal Eestis. Me peame ka tähele panema, et nõukogudeaegne ajalookirjandus juutide tapmisest palju ei rääkinud, ideoloogiliseks skeemiks oli „fašistide kuriteod nõukogude inimeste vastu”. Selle juurde liitus üsnagi levinud seisukoht, et suur osa esimesel punasel aastal Eestis Nõukogude julgeolekuteenistuses teeninud meestest, kes olid süüdi repressioonides Eesti riigi ja rahva vastu, olid juudid. Tõsi on see, et juute oli nende seas mitmeid, kuid tegelikult oli selline üldrahvalik teadmine pigem saksaaegse propaganda niinimetatud „judeobolševismi” teesi kauge järelkaja, mis läbi raamatu „Eesti rahva kannatuste aasta” on kandunud viimasel kuuekümnel aastal nii lugematutesse mälestustesse kui ka ajalookirjandusse.

When the Office of Special Investigations reached an agreement with Soviet authorities in 1980 to interview witnesses and collect evidence behind the Iron Curtain, doubts arose concerning the motives behind Soviet cooperation. 1 Many ethnic groups, especially those from the Baltic States and other Eastern European countries, blasted OSI as a tool for Soviet KGB disinformation activities to discredit anticommunists living in the United States by affixing the "fascist" label on groups that resisted Moscows oppressive rule. They directed vehement protests against Allan A. Ryan, Jr., OSIs director, for his work in fostering cooperation with the Soviet regime and his description of the Ukrainian role during World War II in his 1984 book, Quiet Neighbors . 2 (U) During the 1970s and the 1980s, the Central Intelligence Agency grew increasingly aware of the importance that Soviet intelligence placed on "active measures." The KGB, in fact, had a branch in the First Chief Directorate dedicated to 1 For a discussion of OSI's agreement with the Soviets, see Ryan, Quiet Neighbors, pp. 65-93.
