On November 28, the director of the Simon Wiesentahl centre in Jerusalem, Ephraim
Zuroff, held a press conference, where he presented information
about results in investigating Nazi crimes. Zuroff positively
evaluates accomplished tasks in the spheres of exploring
and educating people about Holocaust, but he indicated that
he would like to see also a correct action, not just correct
words. Zuroff is indignant about the attitude of the General
Prosecutor's Office of Latvia towards reporters about the
Nazi war crimes in Latvia. Zuroff has expressed his position
also to the Prosecutor General, Janis Maizitis. Zuroff is
indignant about the prosecutor, Vija Popova, who was kind
of attempting to influence the witness, Larisa Grekova, from
Bauska, asking her to sign a document, refusing from her
previous testimonies against Karlis Brazuss. The Prosecutor's
Office denies reproaches of Zuroff and attests that it carefully
investigates all cases, which are connected to possible criminals
of Holocaust. There is information about 38 persons, which might be participating in Holocaust crimes in Latvia,
received. The newspapers Telegraf and Vesti Segodnja publish
interviews with Zuroff. (D, NRA, RB(p), VZ(p), T(p), TEL(p),
