- Journalist and author Linda Kinstler's new book, "Come to This Court and Cry: How the #Holocaust Ends", combines a deeply personal family history during #WorldWarII with the universal themes of collective #memory, justice and national identity. The topics are all the more relevant as #Europe grapples with its worst land war in decades. She joined us on Perspective to tell us more.

Latvia experienced 3 Holocausts within a decade.
The first one happened in 1941 under Soviet rule. The second one happened German occupation + all the deaths from fighting and the third one was when the Soviet union returned in 1949.
🤣🤣🤣
When criminal pretends to be the victim.
@@janisjersovs7525So you think it is great that Latvians were deported to Siberia, killed and russified. OK
Yes, neither Nazi or Soviet regimes was good. But at that era many Latvians got entangled with one or bouth regimes. Large parts of society was enrolled without their consent, some committed crimes, thous cases shoud be looked and judged, but largest part just tried to survive and hoped for free Latvia and no one helped them, so to judge them know is somehow wrong. Saying that, I do not denounce holocaust. All involved sides commited crimes in WW2. Just giving wider perspective.
More solid journalism.
Isn't that enough for you?
We had so many holocaust
I dont know why the last one is so popular
Please tell us a bit about your Russian Gulags.
Regards.

So following your logic present Russians soldiers Committing human rights violation should not be responsible ? Am I correct?
Ehh, where did you get that? Did you watch the same interview? It's not very well prepared, way too short, superficial and vague, given.
However, was this about war in Ukraine? Or about excusing crimes against humanity, cancelling responsibility?
Certainly not. She seems to argue the opposite.
It's about these crimes and the perspective of elapsed time, wich shouldn't render the criminal responsibility for crimes commited some 80 years ago obsolete. Same as those committed today.
It's about history of Latvia and Holocaust in eastern Europe (greater Kyïv mentioned is circumstancial), WW2, a study about these developments with and without hindsights we have now. Why it's repeating is directly deduced from that, but seems not to be the theme of the book, as it surely is not written after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. She did mention lessons we should, but evidently haven't learned. Also a hint at atrocities executed by both sides, both against jews and other nationals.
Nothing is well explained in this snippet, so i guess should read that book first. Looks also like a study, why and how people get drawn in to kill their neighbours, which is absolutely necessary today. IMHO - not a very well constructed conversation, journalism not at it's best.
Latvia was first occupied by communist soviets. So every man who got drafted was "communist" and did what they were told. Soviets commited gennocide against native Latvians, destroyed art, history, national relics and deported more than 60k Latvians. Seized all property and so on.
Then, when the frontline went in Russia's direction and went under Nazi German occupation, again, every Latvian who got a call was deemed "nazi". Yes, they did horrible things, but again, there is no choice. Under nazi regime, property was returned, Latvian national symbols were allowed once again.
And then the same thing happened with Soviets. Only this time, it lasted for 45 years.
Latvia was under regime either way.
