| Interview
with Latvian Prosecutor General Janis Maizitis |
Among other issues, there was touched also issues of crimes against the
Jewish residents:
TEL: recently
President V.Vike-Freiberga was on the state visit to Israel , where
she stated that our Prosecutor's Office still continues to investigate
crimes against the Jewish residents during WWII. Are there any results
of the work of the Prosecutor's Office in this respect?
Maizitis: We, of course,
continue work in respect of both totalitarian regimes. If to speak
about genocide and war crimes, I can say that currently at the Prosecutor's
Office there are several criminal cases, related to this problem, initiated
and they are on the process of investigation. One process is connected
with elimination of civilians of Jewish nationality in 1941. This crime
was committed in Rezekne County . The Prosecutor's Office has initiated
also a criminal process on genocide that took place in 1941 in Bikernieki
and Rumbula. In 2006 there was initiated a case also on the Riga Ghetto.
In the framework of this process there are being checked contradictory
info rmation and evidences related to Cukurs. We have results of checking
regarding facts of elimination of peaceful residents in Strenci (Valmiera
region) during WWII, as well as regarding facts of genocide against
the Jewish residents in Jekabpils region in 1941. I can say with a full responsibility
that this work continues in a reality. |

Визенталя осудил шествие эсэсовцев в Риге |
Центр
Симона Визенталя прокомментировал в четверг шествие ветеранов
SS , которое состоялось накануне в столице Латвии. В распространенном заявлении директора израильского
отделения Центра Эфраима Зуроффа указывается на "недопустимость восхваления тех, кто в годы второй мировой войны воевал на стороне
нацистской Германии", передает РИА "Новости".
" Становится все более очевидно, что некоторые сегменты латвийского
общества продолжают рассматривать тех, кто уничтожал евреев или просто воевал
на стороне нацистов, как героев, в то время как эти люди не заслуживают никакой
похвалы", - заявил Зурофф.
" Латвия сегодня расплачивается за свое нежелание преследовать латвийских
нацистов как военных преступников. Такая позиция, подобно страшному сну, будет
долгие годы преследовать латвийское общество", - подчеркивается в заявлении.
Центр Симона Визенталя, основанный в 1977 году, занимается поисками нацистских
военных преступников, борьбой с неонацизмом и антисемитизмом, историей
геноцида евреев Европы. Он аккредитован в качестве неправительственной
организации при ООН и ЮНЕСКО. more... |

Reward for Nazi Info |
| Latvian
newspapers published ads Friday announcing a $10,000 reward
for information that leads to the conviction of aging Nazi
war crimes suspects.
The advertisements are part of "Operation Last Chance," an effort to prosecute Nazi war criminals that is being led by the Los Angeles-based
Simon Wiesenthal Center. They were to appear Saturday as
well.
"The fact that somebody
has got away with this for 50 years does not diminish the
nature of the crime," said Efraim Zuroff, the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Jerusalem
office. The ads show grainy photos of Jews being led to
killing sites, luggage in tow.
Prosecutors in the former Soviet
republic said gathering evidence against the few surviving
suspects - men in their 80s and 90s - has been difficult. "If anyone comes forward with information we are ready to investigate," said Dzintra Subrovska, a spokeswoman for Latvia's prosecutor general's office. |

|
| Statement
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in relation to the initiative
of Dr Efraim Zuroff, Head of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in
Jerusalem |
| At
the end of his visit to the Baltic States, after visiting Lithuania
and Estonia, Dr Efraim Zuroff, Director of the Simon Wiesenthal
Centre in Jerusalem, has launched a project “Operation: Last
Chance” in Riga.
Latvia believes that there is no statute of limitation for war crimes and crimes
against humanity. Therefore, anyone who has committed such
crimes must be called to account in accordance with the
law. Latvia aims at objective investigation into the crimes
committed under totalitarian regimes, regardless of the
political views of the person having committed the crime.
It was already at the time of restoration of independence
that the Supreme Council of the Republic of Latvia adopted
a Declaration “On Denouncing and the Inadmissibility of
Genocide and Anti-Semitism in Latvia”, expressing regret
about the involvement of a number of Latvians in these
crimes. The Latvian Prosecutor General's Office has announced
that the criminal cases of K. Kalejs and K. Ozols, who
were charged with war crimes committed during World War
II, are not closed. The Latvian Government's efforts in
Holocaust education, research and remembrance have been welcomed by several countries, including
the USA and Israel .
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
is of the opinion that Efraim Zuroff as an individual or
as head of the Jerusalem Simon Wiesenthal Centre has the
right to perform activities in Latvia if they do not contravene
Latvian legislation. Latvia holds the view that the general
claims that are addressed to it do not help the activities
being undertaken by the Latvian law enforcement institutions.
Claims such as these do not facilitate uncovering of the
truth, as they are too generalised and inconcrete and are
not based on specific facts.
The Government of Latvia is doing
its best to not only denounce war criminals, but also to
educate the public in order to prevent a repeat of such
crimes. Special attention is being paid to education on
the Holocaust. The activities of the History Commission
are focused on investigating and explaining the Nazi and
Communist regimes. The highest award of Latvia, the Three-Star
Order, has been conferred on the saviours of Jews in Latvia.
The Bikernieki memorial has been restored, and the Riga
City Council has allocated funding for the reconstruction
of the burial-ground for the Nazi victims in Rumbula. At
present the responsibility for investigations into crimes
committed under the Nazi and Communist regimes have been
assigned to Colonel G. Rutkis, Head of the Security Police.

Center Launches Hunt for Nazi War "Criminals" |
SIMON
WIESENTHAL CENTER LAUNCHES “OPERATION: LAST CHANCE” IN LITHUANIA,
LATVIA AND ESTONIA TO MAXIMIZE PROSECUTION OF NAZI WAR CRIMINALS
--CONCLUDES PROJECT LAUNCH IN RIGA
Riga - 11 July 2002-The Simon Wiesenthal Center today concluded the initial
stage of "Operation
Last Chance" by launching the project in the Latvian capital of Riga. The project was presented
at a press conference held at the local Jewish community with the participation
of Israel director, Dr. Efraim Zuroff, who is coordinating "Operation Last Chance, "Targum Shlishi Foundation President Aryeh Rubin of Miami, who is funding the
project and Mr.Arkady Suharenko, Chairman of the Latvian Jewish community.
The project has already been presented this week in Lithuania and in Estonia.
"In a country like Latvia, in which the only ongoing Nazi war crimes investigations
are being carried out against suspects who have already died, I believe that
Operation Last Chance is badly needed," said Zuroff. He pointed to the failure of the Baltic countries to prosecute
Nazi war criminals since they obtained independence, emphasizing the lack of
political will in this regard. "The results speak for themselves. In Latvia, a country in which there was extensive
collaboration with the Nazis and more than 95% of the local Jewish community
was murdered, not a single Nazi war criminal was ever convicted since Latvian
independence."
Latvian nationalists tried to rattle Zuroff by demanding that Communist
criminals also be included in the program, but the Israeli based Nazi hunter
replied that the Centers expertise and priority was to bring Holocaust
perpetrators to trial. Those who believed that Communist crimes were worse
than those of the Holocaust should invest their energies in trying to bring
the guilty to trial instead of attempting to interfere with the efforts
of Nazi hunters," said
Zuroff. more... ________________________________________________________________________
