Through the metaphor of photography, Sigitas Parulskis lays bare the passivity and complicity of many of his countrymen in the darkest chapter of Lithuania's recent history in which 94 per cent of its Jewish population perished.
Translated from the Lithuanian by Karla Gruodis.
The translation of this book was supported by the Lithuanian Culture Institute.
