Overcoming the 'Dark Past': Confronting the Holocaust in Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine
After several decades of progress in coming to terms with the involvement of some Poles, Lithuanians and Ukrainians in the mass murder of the Jews by the Nazi government of Germany during the Second World War, a populist reaction has developed calling into question this self-critical approach. Looking at this process from a comparative perspective makes it possible to identify both its common features and its specific character in Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine.
