Abstract:
Nazi policy in Lithuania included anti-Jewish propaganda (which branded the Jews as Bolsheviks) and mass murders of Jews. In 1941 there were ca. 205,000 Jews in Lithuania; ca. 80% were killed in June-December 1941, first during pogroms perpetrated by Lithuanians and then in massacres committed by the Einsatzgruppen and Lithuanian collaborators. Describes some of the pogroms of 22 June-5 July 1841, during which ca. 7,000 Jews were killed, as well as the decision-making process and methods used in the massacres. The Jews who remained in Lithuanian ghettos were either killed or deported between April 1943-July 1944.
