Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1940 the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania. By June, 1941, the Soviets were deporting Lithuania's intellectuals, merchants, tradesmen, military officers, and teachers to death camps in Siberia. A few weeks later the Nazis invaded and occupied Lithuania. The Jews of Lithuania were targeted in both occupations and were the victims of both Soviet and Nazi ideology. In the farming community of Panemunelis, a 19-year-old young poet named Matilda Olkin was arrested by the Nazis along with her family. She did not survive. And yet, by a miracle her poems and her diary did. Matilda's father, the town pharmacist, Noah Olkin, managed to pass on Matilda's notebook of poems and diary to his close friend, the Catholic priest, Father Juozapas Matelionis. He hid Matilda's writing inside the altar of the Panemunelis church. Soon afterwards, the Soviets arrested Father Matelionis and deported him to Siberia. Decades later the poems and diary were found and Matilda's voice has come back to us again. This is a documentary play based on Matilda's diary, poetry, and eye-witness accounts as well as the testimonies of her friends, who still remember her more than half a century later.…

Softcover, 23 cm. Zustand: Wie neu. XLII, 536 pp., 10 fig. col., 60 fig. b/w. A perfect copy. - Summary: As World War II ended, refugees fled Soviet-occupied Lithuania, finding shelter in the displaced persons camps of Europe. By 1949, most had emigrated to North America. They brought with them opposing narratives about the Nazi occupation (19411944) when 95 percent of Lithuanias Jewish community was annihilated. Trauma narratives were passed down to the second and third generations through collective memory. Through postmemory, cultural memory, and trauma theory, Vanished Lands analyzes literary works by North American Jewish and Lithuanian writers who speak over the silence of decades, seeking answers. - Contents: Foreword: A Historian's Look at Memory and Its Discontents by Dr. Saulius Suziedelis -- Foreword: Towards a Common Understanding by Dr. Dalia Leinarte -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- List of Abbreviations -- IntroductionAn Ocean Away and a Century in the Past -- Chapter 1 The Literary Works and Theoretical Framework -- Chapter 2 The Holocaust by Bullets in Lithuania -- Chapter 3 Lithuania's Anti-Soviet Armed Resistance -- Chapter 4 Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Migration from Lithuania to North America -- Chapter 5 The Role of Lithuanian Émigré Writers in Shaping the Next Generation -- Chapter 6 Two Interpretations-Two Continents: Algirdas Landsbergis, Five Posts in a Market Place -- Chapter 7 Expressions of Cultural Memory in Two Lithuanian Diaspora Memoirs: Antanas Sileika, The Barefoot Bingo Caller and Daiva Markelis, White Field, Black Sheep -- Chapter 8 Catharsis Through Memory: Samuel Bak, Painted in Words-A Memoir -- Chapter 9 Postmemory as Historical Reckoning: Rita Gabis, A Guest at the Shooters' Banquet and Julija ¦ukys, Siberian Exile -- Chapter 10 Yiddish as Postmemory Portal: Ellen Cassedy, We Are Here: Memories of the Lithuanian Holocaust -- Chapter 11 Postmemory and Historical Accuracy - Conclusion.
