Abstract [eng] as weil as the documents and publications of the Union of jewish Soldiers who Participated in the Struggle for Lithuania's Independence are introduced into scholarly circulation; while referring to the statute of the Society for Lithuanian and jewish Cultura! Cooperation and the documents of the Society's liquidation, the scanty information about the activity of this organization contained in historiography is supplemented. The Lithuanization of jews that took place in intcrwar Lithuania affected different generations of jews not equally: the generation of jews of interwar independent Lithuania was Lithuanized, the process of acculturation took place by mastering the language, getting to know Lithuanian literature and culture, and agreeing upon the common shifts of national histories and their hardly differing interpretations, and the types of jewish heroes of outstanding merit to the stato were distinguished. Manifestations of cognition and recognition of Jewish culture and its adaptation to the Lithuanian contexts began to appear among Lithuanians, and the rhetoric of discourse about the coexistence of the two nations and its crucial moments was formed: however, time was too short for jewish integration into society, which was also hindered by social and economic problems and the traditionalist view. The Lithuanian majority was not ready to assimilate the jews who had experienced rapid acculturation and were building a new identity of "Lithuanians of the faith of Moses".
