Abstract
The study is based on semi-structured interviews. Knowledge about the Holocaust is an essential component of Jewish identity. The generation under discussion serves as a pivotal point in uncovering the theme of the Holocaust: transitioning from a lack of information during the Soviet era to gaining knowledge and establishing traditions of commemoration in independent Latvia. This study examines the cognitive and emotional aspects of the Holocaust. The cognitive aspect is related to historical facts. The emotional aspect is reflected in experiences and narratives. For this generation, the Holocaust has become one of the defining factors in understanding Jewish identity.
