Simon Wiesental Centre condemned the decision of the regional newspaper Kurzemes
Vards not to publish announcement for the reward of USD 10,000
to provide information that would help to find and sue people
participating in Holocaust. Eiframs Zurofs, who is used to
be called as Nazi haunter, sent even a letter to Latvian
ambassador to Israel, expressing his indignation. (T(p),
LTV1, LNT)
In his commentary the journalist Dainis
Lemesonoks discusses the activity of Efraim Zuroff that the
well known "Nazi hunter" is working as a provocateur of anti Semitism. Mr. Lemesonoks is asking, why
the attitude to this issue of Estonian and Latvian Jewish
communities is so different. He interviewed the professor
of Latvian University Aivars Starnga, the General Secretary
of New Era Grigory Krupnikov and the chairman of Riga's Jewish
Community Arkady Suharenko. They were questioned about the
activity of Vizental's centre, the operation "The last chance" and about attitude to the celebrating of Legionary day. (NRA)
