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 article also provides the analysis of the change in land used by the farmers’ farms in the period of 2003-2005, and indicates the prevailing specialisation of farms in Kaunas district. According to the analysis results, the number of farmers’ farms had decreased during the analysed period, and land area used by farmers had decreased as well. Even though in 2010 the average farm size increased to 11.19 ha, currently it is only about 7 ha. The majority of farms are from 1 to 10 ha (68.8 percent). In Kaunas district, there prevails combined specialisation of farmers’ farms as crop production might be combined with cattle-breeding, moreover, according to the data of 2015, there are 35 organic farms in the district. In Kaunas district, the areas of declared agricultural land in use and cropland increased by approximately 3.2 percent, however, the number of submitted applications decreased by 12.7 percent.
