Abstract:
Deals with Latvian-Jewish relations before, during, and after the Second World War. Criticizes the stereotypes identifying all Jews as communists and all Latvians as fascists. Explains the deterioration of relations between Latvians and Jews in the interwar period by their conflicting sympathies in the First World War. However, argues that before the Soviet takeover in 1940 these relations were cordial, and that only the Soviet and the subsequent German occupations caused an acute confrontation between Jews and Latvians. Stresses the necessity for reconciliation between the two ethnic groups.
