World War II Memory Politics: Jewish, Polish and Roma Minorities of Belarus

Publisher: The Journal of Belarusian Studies

Volume:
31 pages, pdf

Description:

The aim of this study is to interpret recent trends in contemporary memory politics in Belarus, with focus on the Holocaust, Roma genocide memorials, and the memorial sites of the Polish minority in Belarus. The author believes that the theory of ‘path dependence’ is suitable for analysis of contemporary Belarusian memory politics with respect to World War II. In accordance with this theory, the scope and limitations of new politics are determined by the political choices made or results attained much earlier by the previous political regime.
