By war's end, less than 20,000 remained. Today, approximately 4,000 Jews reside there, among them 108 survivors from the camps and ghettos and a further 70 from the Partisans and Red Army. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst a backdrop of ongoing Holocaust dismissal and a recent surge in anti-Semitic sentiment, \u003ci\u003eHolocaust Legacy in Post-Soviet Lithuania\u003c\/i\u003e presents the history and experiences of a group of elderly Holocaust survivors in modern-day Vilnius. Using their stories and memories, their places of significance as well as biographical objects, Shivaun Woolfson considers the complexities surrounding Holocaust memory and legacy in a post-Soviet era Lithuania. The book also incorporates interdisciplinary elements of anthropology, psychology and ethnography, and is informed at its heart by a spiritual approach that marks it out from other more conventional historical treatments of the subject. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHolocaust Legacy in Post-Soviet Lithuania\u003c\/i\u003e includes 20 images, comes with comprehensive online resources and weaves together story, artefact, monument and landscape to provide a multidimensional history of the Lithuanian Jewish experience during and after the Holocaust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shivaun Woolfson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472532856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472532855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Shivaun Woolfson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153675038975,"sku":"9781472532855","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af31ebc7-bc95-46ed-9480-1a329e31c01a.jpg?v=1770785071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holocaust-legacy-in-post-soviet-lithuania-shivaun-woolfson-9781472532855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
