VilNews discussion:
Jewish-Lithuanian relationships in the context of Holocaust and 600 years of coexistence

Donatas Januta and Olga Zabludoff

Dear VilNews Readers,

Many of you will have seen that we over the latest two months have had an ongoing discussion on the topic of Jewish-Lithuanian relations in the context of the Holocaust in Lithuania, as well as long term features of Lithuanian-Jewish coexistence between the 14th and the 20th centuries.

The debate has offered a unique opportunity to contextualise difficult questions, which are both sensitive and important.

The two most active debaters have been Olga Zabludoff and Donatas Januta. We present below a new post from Donatas, but recommend that all posts are read in chronological order to better understand the more overall context.

Go to our Section 5 or Section 12 to read all debate posts.
