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. -

Nusikalstamumo Pasiskirstymas Vilniaus Mieste
Nusikalstamumo pasiskirstymas Vilniaus mieste: Visuomenės nuomonės ir registruotos statistikos santykis ĮŽANGA Tyrimo objektas pasirinktas susidomėjus, kokiąįtaką žmonių apsisprendimui dėl gyvenamosios vietos turi juos supanti išorinė aplinka ir, deja, vienas iš neatskiriamų jos elementų – nusikalstamumas. Praėjusiame šimtmetyje populiarios ekologinės teorijos sekėjai pastebėjo, kad žmonių bendruomenės, ypač laisvosios rinkos sąlygomis, yra panašios į gamtos struktūrą, kur kiekviena dalis nuolat sąveikauja su kitomis, kiekvienas kovoja už išlikimą, ir visur išlaikoma dinamiška pusiausvyra. Šios teorijos pagrindu tyrimo vykdytojai sudarė mikrorajonų grupes ir apklausos pagalba tyrė visuomenės nuomonę mikrorajonų specifikos ir nusikalstamumo lygio sąveikos klausimais. Šio tyrimo vykdytojai nesiekė nustatyti tam tikrų dėsningumų, o vykdė pažintinį tyrimą, kurio vienas iš pagrindinių tikslų – nustatyti, ar mikrorajono neigiamas įvaizdis yra formuojamas realiai egzistuojančio aukšto nusikalstamumo lygio, o gal tai išankstinio gyventojų nusistatymo pasekmė. TIKSLAS: Nustatyti santykį tarp visuomenės nuomonės ir registruotos statistikos nusikalstamumo pasiskirstymo Vilniaus mieste klausimu.
