| Summary |
"This is a most honest, balanced and tactful attempt to promote self-reflection and self-understanding in two nations involved in a brutal genocide. If you are a Lithuanian or a Jew, after reading this book you have no other choice but to redefine your personal identity in order to answer the questions: What does it mean to be a Lithuanian? What does it mean to be a Lithuanian Jew? I thought I knew the answers, but I was wrong."Levas Kovarskis, psychoanalyst"As Lithuanians, we need to face the deep and painful reflections of the events highlighted in this remarkable book. A great deal of work |
