Summary/Abstract: This study explores the attitudes of non-Jewish populations in Crimea and Lithuania towards their Jewish neighbors during the Nazi occupation, highlighting significant differences in societal responses. The analysis underscores how pre-war social, ethnic, and political factors influenced varying degrees of inaction, assistance, or participation in the persecution of Jews across these regions, illustrating the complex mosaic of human responses in extreme wartime conditions.
