International Conference at the Efrata College of Education, Jerusalem 24 November 2011 : That horrific summer : 70 years since the annihilation of Lithuanian Jewish communities CALL FOR PAPERS The summer of 1941 marked the beginning of the systematic annihilation of entire Jewish communities by the Nazi regime. Following the German invasion of Lithuania, the provincial towns and cities there became early targets for this policy. Jews were herded into ghettos and shot to death in pits adjacent to the towns, by both Nazis and those local residents referred to as their "accessories" in crime. To note the events of that horrific summer and fall, and in memory of those murdered, the Efrata College of Education will host an international academic conference devoted to the annihilation of the Jewish communities of Lithuania during the summer and fall of 1941. The conference committee seeks proposals in various fields, including, but not exclusively, those focusing on history, literature, Jewish thought, facets of memory. Among the suggested topics: Lithuanian Jewry prior to the Holocaust Lithuanian Jewry during the Holocaust Jewish resistance, escape and rescue in Lithuania Initiatives and participation of Lithuanian citizens in the decrees and murder of Jews Religious responses and rabbinic leadership in Lithuania Holocaust memory in Lithuania This one-day conference of lectures, as well as visual and artistic representations on related topics, will be held on Thursday, 24 November 2011 at the Efrata College of Education in Jerusalem. An edited volume is planned, based on selected papers presented, following academic review. You are invited to send a 350 word abstract, including title, together with a short CV, to Bat-Sheva Mazuz, secretary for the conference (bat-she...@macam.ac.il) by June 2, 2011.
