Conceptions of history<br />
The article deals with the perception of history of Jewish<br />
migrants from former Soviet Union states. Basing on<br />
interviews done in German Jewish communities and<br />
in Israel it points out the most important fields of remembering<br />
concerning the Shoah, World War II and<br />
Jewish life in the Soviet Union. Combined together a<br />
collective perception of history is drawn. Due to the<br />
migration the Jewish narrative in Germany and Israel<br />
changed. The emphasis on the role of Jewish fighters in<br />
the Red Army has significantly changed the official way<br />
of remembrance and the 9th of May now is celebrated<br />
as the Victory Day.<br />
Also the individual perceptions of history changed. Because<br />
of the accessibility of information and without<br />
official restrictions the Shoah became more than just a<br />
detail of the Great Patriotic War. The singular crimes of<br />
the National Socialist Germany and its allies became an<br />
important part of their perception of history.<br />
