Kopsavilkums

The chapter concentrates on the diversity of memories of the 20th century in contemporary Latvia. It analyzes practices of memory of Latvians and Russian-speakers, and it investigates the case of Holocaust memory. The research deals with memory policies and the practices of the groups, drawing conclusions on how the ritualization of memories is used to establish competing discourses of national history and identity. The ritualistic practices of memory are analyzed as a chain of counter-memory practices. The chapter suggests that resistance against the official discourse of history is an ongoing process.
