"Throughout her career Naomi Alexander has worked as a figurative artist. When invited by the Europas Parkas Museum in Vilnius to be their first painter in residence she decided to draw Jewish culture as her family roots go back to 18th century Lithuania. She draws what she sees: the vast forests and their dark secrets, the poor people that now live in the homes where Jews once lived, dilapidated buildings, synagogues and cemeteries, and the churches that still loom over the old Jewish areas. Additional information and quirky captions give a sense of the present day struggles of Lithuania's small Jewish community. With introductory articles by John Russell Taylor, The Times art critic, and by Aubrey Newman, Associate Director of the Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust Studies, University of Leicester."--BOOK JACKET.

There are five publications in issue 8, II-2024 of "Journal of Ethnic Microhistory". 1. Dr. Winfrid Halder comments in his essay "The Burden of Memory" on the biographical novel "I was a Wolf Kid from Königsberg" (original title in German: "Ich war ein Wolfskind aus Königsberg") by Ursula Dorn. She describes her experiences that cover mainly the period between the summer of 1944 and October 1948. 2. The editorial board has decided to publish the first chapters of the biographical novel "I was a Wolf Kid from Königsberg" by Ursula Dorn to illustrate to some extent the essay "The Burden of Memory" by Dr. Winfrid Halder. This would be continued in the coming issues of the journal. 3. The article "Germany should be Fit for War" by the historian Alex Dreger is devoted to the comparative analyses of the publication dated October 7, 1894, in "Dortmund Newspaper" (Dortmunder Zeitung) that critically examined Wilhelm Liebknecht's speech in the Reichstag, in which one of the leaders of the SPD introduced a proposal for an army reform in accordance with the political views of Marxists on the armed forces. 4. The article "Do the Soviet Germans Have a Future?" is based on the presentation made on 8 October 1989 in Bonn by the leader of the Russia-German movement Hugo Wormsbecher at the congress of the Association for Germanness Abroad (Verein für das Deutschtum im Ausland - VDA). The original text is in German with a preceding English abstract. 5. The analytical treatise "Moscow is Burning, Moscow is Raging" by Robert Korn is devoted to the anti-German Pogroms in Moscow in May 1915. "Economic measures against Russia-Germans, i.e. the destruction of their enterprises and the deprivation of their property led to an acute aggravation of the social situation, first of all, of the Russian people. The deportation of Russia-Germans, who had been ruined and socially humiliated by the authorities, to the overcrowded central and eastern provinces led to a food supplies' crisis." The paper is written in Russian and preceded by an extended English abstract.
The Genocide Convention explores the question of whether the law and genocide law in particular can prevent mass atrocities. The volume explains how genocide came to be accepted as a legal norm and analyzes the intent required for this categorization. The work also discusses individual suits against states for genocide and, finally, explores the utility of genocide as a legal concept.
Over time at least four meanings have been attributed to the term 'Baltic' - drawing on thirty years of extensive research, Foreword to the Past is the first modern introduction to the enigma of the Baltic origins and the self-identification of the Baltic people. The book is divided into three distinctive parts: the first part recounts the history of the Baltic peoples relying on archaeological sources; the second part provides an objective linguistic history and a description of the Baltic languages; the third part provides an original and fresh insight into mythology in the ancient history of the Baltic peoples.
