Summary / Abstract:

ENIt bears note that throughout the duration of the author’s doctoral studies, and through the publication of this work in 2019 to the present day, the issue of Lithuanian memory of the Holocaust has become increasingly politicised. Scholars writing on the matter tread on a scholastic and political minefield, where one false step will invite a barrage of criticism. Against this background, efforts to push the envelope of disciplinary and scholastic boundaries should be welcomed. As strategies for the interrogation of contested pasts shift from an outdated model of consensus and reconciliation to more realistic models of agonistic memory,5 Mediated Memories will be seen as a pioneering step in this direction. The monograph will be of interest and practical use to professional historians, students and general readers curious about the contested memory of the Second World War and the Holocaust in Lithuania.
