Abstract:
Examines the Holocaust and Jewish participation in the war as described in historical writings and in novels, stories, and poems by Soviet and Belarusian non-Jewish and Jewish writers (including works in Yiddish). Concludes that in most of the works the Jewish aspect is ignored or deliberately suppressed. Gives examples, citing especially the few writers (mostly Jews) who wrote openly about the fate of the Jews, and particularly about the Minsk ghetto. Discusses apologetic Belarusian émgré literature which blames others for the Holocaust - the Germans, Soviets, Poles, Lithuanians, or Ukrainians. Contends that Belarusians tried to help the Jews. Concludes that 750,000 Jews were murdered by the Nazis in Belarus and that the local population was either passive or hostile (mentions the Belarusian police, with ca. 60,000 members, who collaborated with the Nazis).
