| Description |
In the first postwar decades, Jewish religious communities in the USSR took the initiative to commemorate victims of the Holocaust. Forms of commemoration included memorial assemblies, fundraising for monuments, and erection of monuments at sites of mass murders. In most cases the Soviet authorities, either local municipalities or the central Council for Religious Affairs, opposed these activities, seeing them (quite correctly) as expressions of Jewish nationalist sentiment. Remarkably, in the Baltic countries, Soviet authorities were often more favorably disposed to Holocaust commemoration than in Ukraine or Belarus. In some cases community activists conducted a protracted struggle (e.g. in Berdichev, a 15-year-long one) for the right to commemorate Jewish victims of the Nazi genocide. Holocaust commemoration became a unifying factor across broad Jewish social strata, clashing with the authorities' "atomization" policy regarding the Jews. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Appeared in Russian as "Деятельность евреев по увековечению памяти о Холокосте в Советском Союзе в эпоху Сталина" in "Яд Вашем исследования" 1 (2009) 171-192. In Hebrew: "יד ושם קובץ מחקרים" ל (תשסב) 221-240 |
