Amidst Latvians During the Holocaust

Edward Anders

4.9/5 (26389 ratings)

Description:*** Rated one of "Best Books of 2011" by KIRKUS REVIEWS . ***Anders's remarkable reminiscences show that in the morass of the "Bloodlands" there were honest, helpful people of Latvian, German, Slavic descent, illustrating the utter absurdity of the "collective guilt" concept. - FRANK GORDON , journalist, Tel-Aviv . ***Surviving the Holocaust by a hair, Anders became a brilliant scientist. Upon retirement, he turned to Holocaust studies. Part I is a memoir of his youth, including the Soviet and German occupations of Latvia. Part II discusses, with objectivity and precision, Latvian conduct during WWII. - ANDREW EZERGAILIS , Professor of History, Ithaca, NY . ***Anders survived by an outright lie (invented by his father) that his mother was a German foundling raised by a Jewish couple. His father was soon executed, but Edward and his mother bluffed their way through the nightmarish years of the German occupation (1941-1945), helped by the good will of the non-Jews among whom they were living. - MORRIS HALLE , Institute Professor of Linguistics, MIT, Cambridge, MA . ***Much has been argued about whether Soviet and Nazi terrors are comparable. Anders, a Latvian Jew who savored and survived both, presents a compelling personal story and a dispassionate analysis of the events surrounding victims and victimizers as they were drawn into the most tragic episodes of recent European history.-- PĒTERIS BOLŠAITIS , Board Chairman, Occupation Museum Association, Riga.
