Post-soviet remembrance of the Holocaust and national memories of the Second World War in Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania

This article compares changes in remembrance of the Holocaust and the Second World War in three successor states of the Soviet Union - Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania - belonging to different historical regions of Eastern Europe. The contribution argues that despite important distinctions, in all three states the new practices of remembrance are developing in similar ways: while the Holocaust is remembered, memory of it often remains marginalised or is appropriated for particular ends.
