i would write about, and you know all of these three bookshelves behind me is information my mother left me to write the story. and i spent ten years going through all that. i came across, however, a document that started to change my mind and he had written something in 1933, called raise your head, lithuanian! he was only 22 when he wrote it. and when i opened it up, um, you know, i ve got it right here next to me, when i opened it up, i thought i was going to read another patriotic little brochure about how wonderful it is to be lithuanian and it was really not like that. it was all about why lithuanians should not buy anything from jews, why lithuanians should start boycotting everything from jews, why for lithuanians thejews are considered foreigners, and it was like this for 32 pages.
i assumed it was communist propaganda, i really only focused on his heroic side for ten years that s what i thought i would write about, and you know all of these three bookshelves behind me is information my mother left me to write the story. and i spent ten years going through all that. i came across, however, a document that started to change my mind and he had written something in 1933, called raise your head, lithuanian! he was only 22 when he wrote it. and when i opened it up, you know, i ve got it right here next to me, when i opened it up, i thought i was going to read another patriotic little brochure about how wonderful it is to be lithuanian and it was really not like that. it was all about why lithuanians should not buy anything from jews, why lithuanians should start boycotting everything
from jews, why for lithuanians thejews are considered foreigners, and it was like this for 32 pages. yeah, i ve read snatches of it, silvia and it s deeply, profoundly anti semitic. and also, i ve seen other documentation which you put in the public domain which suggests that by the late 1930s, he was an admirer of adolf hitler and benito mussolini. i mean, these things he was writing about, your wider family must have known about some of this stuff. so, when you approached them, when you were commissioned by your dying mum to write the full history of your grandfather, obviously you couldn t discuss it with your mum, she d passed away but as you began to discuss it with the wider family, were people prepared to acknowledge that eunice was indeed a fascist sympathiser, an anti semite and what that something
