Description
Sheds light on the attitudes of Lithuanian nationalists toward the Jews in the interwar First Lithuanian Republic and during the Soviet occupation of 1940-1941. Examines the views of the major Lithuanian nationalist groups, including the radical Lithuanian Activist Front, which turned Nazi-style antisemitism into a cornerstone of its ideology. This analysis helps make sense of the culmination of the interethnic conflict during the Nazi occupation of Lithuania
