Download or read book Jews of Lithuania and Latvia the Graudans written by Keith W. Kaye and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovery to Diaspora is a fascinating family journey which breathes life into the times of Jews in Lithuania and Latvia. The Jewish roots in the Baltic Sea region are rife with dualities. In one sense, the region is a beautiful coastal area with large sandy beaches and busy ports. Yet, these same attractions have fraught the region with war and conflict. It is here where the Graudan Family was established. It was also the site in which German Nazis and Latvian collaborators mass murdered thousands of Jews during WWII, including some of the Graudans, (the local population numbered about 7,000 before the war and yet less than 30 Jews remained after the war). Others in the family, through marriage, and the foresight of early emigration survived. Through their individual stories we see their descendents enriching the world with their skills, love, and compassion for life. With the help of genealogy reports, published works, public records, memoirs, journals, diaries, notes, interviews, and personal stories, Keith W Kaye develops a holistic blueprint of Jewish life and times of the Graudan family from the eighteenth to mid twentieth century. Steeped in rich ancestry and history, the personal stories allow the reader to travel to the Baltic and experience past life there in a firsthand way. A vivid picture of Jewish life in Lithuania and in Latvia evolves as the history, politics, and people of the region are explored. Jews of Lithuania and Latvia: The Graudans is also an important contribution to current scholarship of Baltic region Jewry. Along the way, Keith shares his own techniques for discovering the historical and familial facts, his unexpected and enlightening encounters, and his exciting exploration into the depths of his family history.

Download or read book History of Latvian Jews written by Josifs Šteimanis and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentions anti-Jewish policies of some rulers in the Latvian provinces - Courland, Lievland, and Latgalia - between the 16th century and 1914. Some Jews were killed in Riga in pogroms during the revolution of 1905-06. The 1930s were marked by attempts to oust Jews from the economy of independent Latvia. Antisemitism of the radical right was also conspicuous. Ch. 10 (pp. 125-144) deals with the Holocaust in Latvia, describing mass shootings of Jews by the Arājs Commando, the Riga ghetto, and Latvian rescuers of Jews. Ch. 11 (pp. 145-157), on the Soviet occupation 1944-1991, also discusses state antisemitism. Ch. 14 (pp. 179-212), "The Jews of Latvia 1919-1940", presents an anonymous text compiled by Latvian Jews in the USA in 1941-42; pp. 206-209 deal with antisemitism. Ch. 13 (pp. 169-178), "Comments on 'The Jews of Latvia 1919-1940'" is a response by Andrew Ezergailis, who contends that the Latvian dictator Kārlis Ulmanis (1934-40) was not antisemitic.
Download or read book The Case for Latvia written by Jukka Rislakki and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we know about Latvia and the Latvians? A Baltic (not Balkan) nation that emerged from fifty years under the Soviet Union - interrupted by a brief but brutal Nazi-German occupation and a devastating war - now a member of the European Union and NATO. Yes, but what else? Relentless accusations keep appearing, especially in Russian media, often repeated in the West: "Latvian soldiers single-handedly saved Lenin's revolution in 1917", "Latvians killed Tsar Nikolai II and the Royal family", "Latvia was a thoroughly anti-Semitic country and Latvians started killing Jews even before the Germans arrived in 1941", "Nazi revival is rampant in today's Latvia", "The Russian minority is persecuted in Latvia. . ." True, false or in-between? The Finnish journalist and author Jukka Rislakki examines charges like these and provides an outline of Latvia's recent history while attempting to separate documented historical fact from misinformation and deliberate disinformation. His analysis helps to explain why the Baltic States (population 7 million) consistently top the enemy lists in public opinion polls of Russia (143 million). His knowledge of the Baltic languages allows him to make use of local sources and up-to-date historical research. He is a former Baltic States correspondent for Finland's largest daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat and the author of several books on Finnish and Latvian history. As a neutral, experienced and often critical observer, Rislakki is uniquely qualified for the task of separating truth from fiction.
