Kurzfassung:
Explores tensions at the international conference "Jews and Non-Jews in Lithuania: Coexistence, Cooperation, Violence", held at University College London in December 2012. The controversies at the conference concerned issues such as the appropriateness of an equation between Nazi-sponsored mass murder of Jews and the sufferings of Lithuanians under Soviet rule; the appropriateness of the name given to the Museum of Genocide Victims in Vilnius, commemorating victims of Soviet rule in Lithuania; and the Prague Declaration of 2008, which equated the crimes of communism with those of Nazism. Believes that the sadness that every Jew feels regarding the fate of the Jews in Eastern Europe during World War II should not obscure the fact that Lithuanians and others were victims of Soviet occupation and suffered mass murders and deportations.
