TREASURER'S REPORT As of 26 December 1975, there was a credit balance of $605.16. International dues of 500 Swiss francs ($190) for 1976 had been paid. The International Committee had advanced the American Committee $1400 to cover one half the expenses of the conference at San Francisco in August. The remainder, amounting to $703.46, was held in escrow pending a decision as to whether the Inter­ national Committee would partially subsidize publication of the papers. 2. SAN FRANCISCO MEETING IN AUGUST 1975 Concurrently with the Fifteenth International Congress of Historical Sciences, 22-29 August 1975, in San Francisco, there was a meeting of the International Committee on the History of the Second World War. The minutes of the business meeting on 27 August 1975, at which Professor Arthur L. Funk of the Univer­ sity of Florida, then Secretary, now Chairman of the American Committee, was elected Vice-President of the International Committee, are attached, together with the minutes of the subse­ quent meeting of the International Committee, held in Florence in March 1976. As noted above in the Treasurer's Report, funds were being held for dissemination of the papers delivered at the sessions of the International Committee in San Francisco. Prof. Funk explained the responsibility of the American Committee, as organizing committee, and was authorized to proceed with publica­ tion of the papers in coordination with the International .-------------------------------- ------ -­ 3 Committee. (Copies of these papers are now--in August 1976--being printed for distribution.) 3. NEWSLETTER AND BULLETIN In the future, the chairman announced, he hoped that the News Bulletin of the International Committee would alternate with the American Newsletter. Negotiations on methods of distributing the International Bulletin were in progress. During Prof. Rochat's term as secretary-general of the International Committee, he had mailed the International News Bulletin directly from Milan to some sixty members of the American Committee, leaving the rest to be supplied from a sometimes insufficient batch of copies sent to the American secretary in Gainesville. With the inter­ national and American secretariats having moved to Brussels and to Carbondale, respectively, some new arrangements would in any case have to be worked out, Prof. Funk observed. He hoped the eventual outcome would be that members of the American Committee would receive a copy either of the international bulletin or the ACHSWW newsletter every three or four months--each appearing twice a year, in other words, but representing, when taken together, the equivalent of a quarterly bulletin. (The present newsletter, No. 15, the first of 1976, is to be followed by the second, No. 16, later this autumn.) 4. PROJECTS There was extended consideration of the proposal set forth in ACHSWW Newsletter No. 14 (October 1975) by Janet Ziegler of the UCLA Library. Compiler of a bibliography of books published in English between 1945 and 1965 (Hoover Institution Press, 1965), she was now addressing herself to the challenge of developing a comprehensive bibliography of the international periodical literature on the war. Also there was discussion of an undertaking, proposed by Vojtech Mastny of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to publish recently declassified documentation on the war; of the possibility, raised by Donald S. Detwiler of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, of establishing post-graduate historical internships in various archives and agencies; and of a University of Turin inventory of Resistance materials in American archives. A number of suggestions were made regarding these projects, but no formal action was called for or taken. 5. FORTHCOMING ACHSWW MEETINGS It was resolved that the chairman appoint a committee to develop a proposal for a joint ACHSWVi-AHA session on intelligence, to be submitted to the AHA Program Committee for the December 1976 meeting in Washington, D.C., and it was also agreed--as the sense of the meeting, rather than as a formal resolution--that planning 4 for the 1977 meeting of the ACHSWW should be continued along lines defined by the chairman in his remarks on the subject. (Subsequent arrangements for both the 1976 joint session and the 1977 conference are reported immediately below.) 1976 JOINT ACHSWW-AHA MEETING IN WASHINGTON, D. C. with the cooperation of the AHA Program and Local Arrange­ ments committees, the annual business meeting of the ACHSWW is scheduled for the Assembly Room of the Sheraton Hotel, 4:45-6:30 P.M., Tuesday, 28 December, and the joint ACHSWW­ AHA session is scheduled for the following morning, Wednesday, 29 December 1976: CODEBREAKING AND INTELLIGENCE IN THE EUROPEAN THEATER, WORLD WAR II CHAIR: Arthur 1.

Deutsch, U.S. Army War College 1977 BIENNIAL CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, D. C. Following discussion of the question at the business meeting in Atlanta, the chairman requested the secretary to serve with two members of the ACHSWW Board of Directors as an organizing committee for the 1977 conference, Forrest C. Pogue, Director of the Smithsonian Institution's Dwight D. Eisenhower Institute for Historical Research, and Robert Wolfe, Chief of the Modern Military Branch of uhe National Archives (and director of the National Archives conference on captured records). Plans are being made, in coordination with the Eisenhower Institute, the MacArthur Memorial Library and Archives of Norfolk, and the George C. Marshall Research Library in Lexington, Va., for a conference in Washington, D. C., late in May, on U. S. Military Government in Germany and Japan, 1945-52. Seminars on the occupation of Germany and of Japan, respectively, have been held at the Marshall and the MacArthur libraries (for "The Occupation

  • Lithuanian Jews and the Holocaust
    Ezra’s Archives | 77 Strategies of Survival: Lithuanian Jews and the Holocaust Taly Matiteyahu On the eve of World War II, Lithuanian Jewry numbered approximately 220,000. In June 1941, the war between Germany and the Soviet Union began. Within days, Germany had occupied the entirety of Lithuania. By the end of 1941, only about 43,500 Lithuanian Jews (19.7 percent of the prewar population) remained alive, the majority of whom were kept in four ghettos (Vilnius, Kaunas, Siauliai, Svencionys). Of these 43,500 Jews, approximately 13,000 survived the war. Ultimately, it is estimated that 94 percent of Lithuanian Jewry died during the Holocaust, a percentage higher than in any other occupied Eastern European country.1 Stories of Lithuanian towns and the manner in which Lithuanian Jews responded to the genocide have been overlooked as the perpetrator- focused version of history examines only the consequences of the Holocaust. Through a study utilizing both historical analysis and testimonial information, I seek to reconstruct the histories of Lithuanian Jewish communities of smaller towns to further understand the survival strategies of their inhabitants. I examined a variety of sources, ranging from scholarly studies to government-issued pamphlets, written testimonies and video testimonials. My project centers on a collection of 1 Population estimates for Lithuanian Jews range from 200,000 to 250,000, percentages of those killed during Nazi occupation range from 90 percent to 95 percent, and approximations of the number of survivors range from 8,000 to 20,000. Here I use estimates provided by Dov Levin, a prominent international scholar of Eastern European Jewish history, in the Introduction to Preserving Our Litvak Heritage: A History of 31 Jewish Communities in Lithuania.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor David Phinnemore. Abstract Giandomenico, J. 2015. Transformative Power Challenged. EU Membership Conditionality in the Western Balkans Revisited. Skrifter utgivna av Statsvetenskapliga föreningen i Uppsala 194. 237 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9403-2. The EU is assumed to have a strong top-down transformative power over the states applying for membership. But despite intensive research on the EU membership conditionality, the transformative power of the EU in itself has been left curiously understudied. This thesis seeks to change that, and suggests a model based on relational power to analyse and understand how the transformative power is seemingly weaker in the Western Balkans than in Central and Eastern Europe. This thesis shows that the transformative power of the EU is not static but changes over time, based on the relationship between the EU and the applicant states, rather than on power resources. This relationship is affected by a number of factors derived from both the EU itself and on factors in the applicant states. As the relationship changes over time, countries and even issues, the transformative power changes with it. The EU is caught in a path dependent like pattern, defined by both previous commitments and the built up foreign policy role as a normative power, and on the nature of the decision making procedures.

    FIGHTERS FOR FREEDOM Lithuanian Partisans Versus the U.S.S.R. by Juozas Daumantas This is a factual, first-hand account of the activities of the armed resistance movement in Lithuania during the first three years of Russian occupation (1944-47) and of the desperate conditions which brought it about. The author, a leading figure in the movement, vividly describes how he and countless other young Lithuanian men and women were forced by relentless Soviet persecutions to abandon their everyday activities and take up arms against their nation’s oppressors. Living as virtual outlaws, hiding in forests, knowing that at any moment they might be hunted down and killed like so many wild animals, these young freedom fighters were nonetheless determined to strike back with every resource at their command. We see them risking their lives to protect Lithuanian farmers against Red Army marauders, publishing underground news­ papers to combat the vast Communist propaganda machine, even pitting their meager forces against the dreaded NKVD and MGB.

  • The Culmination of the Lithuanian Partisan Movement by Vylius M
    Volume 11, 2009 Baltic Security & Defence Review “Forest Brothers” 1945: The Culmination of the Lithuanian Partisan Movement By Vylius M. Leskys* The conventional acceptance of the Lithuanian partisan movement against the Soviets from 1944 to 1953 typically delineates the effort into three stages according to distinguishable patterns of operations and centralization of effort (Kuodyte & Tracevskis, 2006:34). Operationally, however, the Lithuanian resistance fought by the “forest brothers” (Ibid., p. 17) may be more clearly divided by defining the unacknowledged culmination that occurred in 1945—a point when overwhelming Soviet combat power caused a decline in partisan capabilities that continued until the conflict’s final demise in 1953. Although the resistance effort maintained its strength ideologically, the Lithuanian partisan movement never recovered from the culminating point because of a shortfall in resources, a lack of external support, and the inability of resistance leadership to adapt rapidly enough against a comprehensive Soviet assimilation campaign. Cold War delineation of the Lithuanian partisan movement generally divided the war into two stages, “four years of strength (1944-48) and four of gradual decline (1949-1952).” (Vardys, 1965:85) With the elucidation provided by previously classified documents of the NKVD (People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs), the generally accepted post-Cold War division of the partisan movement is segmented into three stages: 1) July 1944-May 1946, 2) May 1946-Nov 1948, and 3) Nov 1948-May 1953. The first period encompassed the years of “victory and romanticism” when partisans “would gather in the hundreds in the forests and arrange well- fortified camps” to plan large scale attacks against the Soviets (Kuodyte & Tracevskis, 2006:36).

  • Culture of Memory and Politics of History in Lithuania in 1989–2018
    119 Professor Alvydas Nikžentaitis The Lithuanian Institute of History, Vilnius, Lithuania ARTICLES CULTURE OF MEMORY AND POLITICS OF HISTORY IN LITHUANIA IN 1989–2018 Abstract This article aims to analyse the transformation of the culture of memory in Lithuania and the most important directions of Lithuanian politics of history in the period from 1989 to 2018. While discussing these questions, special attention is paid to the role of political factors (internal and external) and inter- state relations, as well as to changes in the relationship between Lithuania’s culture of memory, and the cultures of memory and identity of the national minorities in Lithuania. The paper emphasises the processes of transformation of the Lithuanian culture of remembrance which started around 2005, when it was most recently updated. The research material presented herein shows that Lithuania’s culture of memory is full of contradictions and conflicts, and that its central figure has changed. Keywords: culture of memory, politics of history, identity, inter-state relations, national minorities Financial disclosure: The article has been written as part of the research project “Modernisation of Identity? Challenges of ‘Europeanisation’, Nationalism and Post-Sovietism for Memory Cultures” (No. MOD-17006, supported by the Research Council of Lithuania). Institute of National Remembrance 1/2019 120 n recent years, a number of works have been published on Ithe culture of memory and politics of history (Erll, Nünning 2008). I have discussed the terminology of these concepts in other publications (Nikžentaitis 2013, pp. 517–538), throughout which one can clearly see a certain trend: these concepts are often used interchangeably (synonymously) (Łuczewski and Bednarz-Łuczewska 2011), although in my opinion they should not be.

  • Lithuania: a Problem of Disclosure
    Lithuania: A Problem of Disclosure TOMAS SKUCAS s centripetal forces spun the Soviet Union out of control and, ultimately, out A of existence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, an unlikely country became the vanguard of those USSR states seeking independence. Through political maneuverings and public demonstrations, Lithuania gained independence and resisted the half-hearted attempts of the Soviet Union to prevent the secession of its Eastern European satellites. Since then, Lithuania has struggled with its Soviet-era demons. Like the rest of the former Soviet Union, Lithuania had been controlled by the KGB and its predecessors. The KGB’s historic power, and its pervasive influence on Lithuan- ian society (which persists even today), has been a defining feature of the coun- try’s tortured path toward democracy. The First Soviet Occupation Following the collapse of the Russian and German empires in 1918, Lithuania finally was able to assert its statehood. On February 16, 1918, Lithuania declared its full independence. However, a mere two years later, Lithuania’s capital and province of Vilnius was annexed and subsequently controlled by Poland until World War II. Following the onset of the war, specifically the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact by Iosif Stalin and Adolph Hitler in August 1939, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia were forced to accept Soviet occupation. In October 1939, Soviet troops arrived on Lithuanian soil. The following May, the Soviet Union delivered a note to the Lithuanian government accusing it of complicity in the kidnapping of two Soviet soldiers. Through these and similar instruments of intimidation, the Soviets forced the creation of a new government led by the Soviet Deputy Commissar for Foreign Affairs and a quasi-elected Peo- ple’s Diet.

  • Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960
    Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960 Jonathan H. L’Hommedieu A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Turku in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Social Sciences in the Department of Contemporary History Turku 2011 Serial: Humaniora B 338 ISBN 978-951-29-4811-6 ISSN 0082-6987 Abstract Jonathan H. L’Hommedieu: Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960 This dissertation explores the complicated relations between Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian postwar refugees and American foreign policymakers between 1948 and 1960. There were seemingly shared interests between the parties during the first decade of the Cold War. Generally, Eastern European refugees refused to recognize Soviet hegemony in their homelands, and American policy towards the Soviet bloc during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations sought to undermine the Kremlin’s standing in the region. More specifically, Baltic refugees and State Department officials sought to preserve the 1940 non-recognition policy towards the Soviet annexation of the Baltic States. I propose that despite the seemingly natural convergence of interests, the American experiment of constructing a State-Private network revolving around fostering relations with exile groups was fraught with difficulties. These difficulties ultimately undermined any ability that the United States might have had to liberate the Baltic States from the Soviet Union. As this dissertation demonstrates, Baltic exiles were primarily concerned with preserving a high level of political continuity to the interwar republics under the assumption that they would be able to regain their positions in liberated, democratic societies.
