Summary / Abstract:
ENWritten in English and translated into 40 languages, Foti’s book will have to be included in Lithuania’s historiography of the Holocaust, but the memoir genre does not lend itself to objective history. Despite the book’s shortcomings, Foti has exposed her ‘heroic’ grandfather as a žydšaudis, responsible for the deaths of 10 –15,000 Litvak deaths. Her book is one part of the larger story revealing the culpability of Lithuanians in the extermination of 220,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
