| | Anti-Semitism Worldwide 1999/2000 - Baltic Republics |
 | | A crucial aspect of this identity crisis is the Baltic people’s perception of the Jews, the Holocaust and the participation of the native population in the extermination of the Jews who lived in their lands. | | | This latter group is suspected by their compatriots of being agents of a Russian or Israeli conspiracy to humiliate the Baltic states internationally. | | | About 40 Jewish organizations and religious communities function in the three Baltic republics, their leaders representing the Jewish population in dealing with the local authorities and with Jewish organizations in the West and with Israel. |

| | Dissent in the Baltic Republics - A Balance Sheet |
| | In 1976, in his apartment, Baltic dissidents attempted to form a joint organization for the struggle in behalf of national rights, which was, however, quickly destroyed by KGB intervention. | | | They were tried under Article 68 of the Penal Code for various political writings and especially for organizing a petition of Baltic citizens to the governments of the USSR and Germany, calling for the annulment of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of August 23,1939, which doomed the independence of the Baltic States. | | | Baltic dissidents have long ago realized that only a broad all union dissent movement can force any reforms upon the regime At least since mid-1970s there has been close cooperation among Baltic human rights activists, who also maintained ties with Moscow dissidents. |

| | I will present evidence on the continuing clashes between the two, and will also point out certain policies of the regime which, in the eyes of autochthonous populations, appear to be either discriminatory, or, more important, are perceived as endangering ethnic identity and existence. | | | The third policy consists of extensive revision of the historiography of the Baltic peoples which, in their eyes, goes far beyond the demands of the Marxist - Leninist ideology. | | | The argument and conclusions presented here are based on evidence from the 1950's and 1960's, along with some very recent examples, all of which are drawn from a close reading of the Soviet Baltic press, from interviews, and from a recent personal visit. |
