I think we all know about the Holocaust and what it meant to the Jewish people. However, many Baltic nations such as Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia also suffered during this time! The Baltic people were placed in concentration camps just like the Jews, but for a different reason. The majority of them were thought to be enemies of Germany and therefore must be persecuted. Though there is little information on these camps today given their history, you can learn more about them by reading a novel written by a survivor. This book will give you an insight into what life was like during those years, as well as what the refugees went through before escaping from Europe. The book, "Stories of the Holocaust" even gives you an account of what happened to the prisoners who weren't killed. This book is great for anybody to read, whether you are Jewish or not.Beside the topics of Jews, concentration camps and escape stories there are also very interesting stories about the Baltic people themselves, especially their beliefs that may be unfamiliar to you! For example the Lithuanians were Christians before World War II and therefore their religion was converted to Christianity by German Lutheran missionaries. This may be of interest to you especially if you are researching Holocaust related studies. Jewish people did not convert to Christianity before the war, which is one of the reasons why they were persecuted. Another thing that is interesting is their belief in ghosts! The Baltic people, like many others in Latvia and Estonia, believe in the existence of spirits. This belief has been circulating for years and can be found in almost every household today! Ghosts are thought to be malicious spirits who inhabit the human body when it is no longer able to function properly. Not necessarily ghosts, but also bad luck is blamed on these spirits... maybe this is one belief that Jewish people can relate to! This book is a great source of information for you to use when researching the Holocaust and the Baltic history. It will give you an insight into what life was like for those who were sent to concentration camps. You can also learn about their beliefs and how they reacted to it! Everyone should read this book, even if they are not Jewish or not interested in doing so initially. It may be completely new information that you did not know about before, and it will open your eyes to some things!
