Nazi Hunters Track
Lithuanian War Criminals
Under the Direction Of:
Annette Bergasse and Tony Lord
Tel Aviv (JTA) - A global
effort to track down Lithua-
nian war criminals who
helped the Nazis murder
tens of thousands of Jews
during World War II has
concluded its first phase.
Efraim Zuroff, Israel direc-
tor of the Los Angeles-based
Simon Wiesenthal Center,
delivered the names of 186
suspects to the embassies of
West Germany and
Australia, the countries
where they may be living.
Additional names will be
presented to the U.S. au-
thorities in Washington.
That will complete the
research half of the project,
undertaken by the Wiesen-
thal Center six months ago
to establish the whereabouts
of the suspects. Earlier lists
were submitted to the
United States, Canada,
Britain, West Germany and
Australia.
Altogether, they contain
the names of 1,284 suspects,
most of them Lithuanians,
but a few of them Poles. Ac-
cording to the Wiesenthal
Center, only 13 percent were
previously known.
It is estimated that about
one-third of the perpetrators
from areas presently part of
the Soviet Union escaped to
Western countries. They are
believed responsible for the
murders of over 200,000

The organization of
Lithuanian Jews in Israel
recently demanded that
Lithuania emulate East
Germany by admitting the
role Lithuanians played in
the Holocaust.
So far, the Baltic country
has had nothing to say on
that subject, though it is
soliciting worldwide support
of its proclamation of in-
dependence from the Soviet
Union.

Jews and the destruction of
171 Jewish communities in
Lithuania, Zuroff said.
The data substantiating
the lists was compiled from
the testimony of approx-
imately 200 survivors of pre-
war Lithuanian Jewry. It
was collected between 1945
and 1949 by Leib
Kunichowsky, a survivor of
the Kovno ghetto. The list
was only recently turned
over to the Yad Vashem ar-
chives in Jerusalem.
The list submitted to West
Germany contains 131
names, of which 39 con-
stitute "good material for
prosecution," Zuroff said.
That means the suspects
are known to be alive and
residing in West Germany,
according to Kuroff, adding
that the Australian list con-
sists of 55 names, of which
19 are "good material."
New York (JTA) - The
Memorial Foundation for
Jewish Culture, established
in 1965 from reparations
funds paid by West Ger-
many, can look back on
significant contributions to
Jewish life as it celebrates
its 25th anniversary this
year.
In that period, the founda-
tion has awarded 7,603
grants, totaling more than
$13 million, according to a
report by its president, Lord
Immanuel Jakobovits of
London, the chief rabbi of
Britain, and Philip Klutz-
nick of Chicago, chairman of
the foundation's executive
committee.
The grants were awarded
in five categories, the largest
single number, 2,360, going
for doctoral scholarships.
The foundation awarded
1,868 fellowships, which
enabled recipients to do in-
dependent work in Jewish
scholarship, literature or
art.
There were 1,621 commun-
ity service scholarships to
train rabbis, cantors,
teachers, ritual slaugh-
terers, social workers and
other Jewish functionaries.
Post-rabbinic scholarships
to help newly ordained
rabbis receive advanced
training accounted for an-
other 1,625 grants.
In addition, 129 Soviet
Jewish community service
scholarships were awarded
to help train Jewish immi-
grants from the Soviet
Union for positions of re-
ligious, educational, com-
munal and cultural leader-
ship in their new homes.
"Through these programs,
the foundation has fulfilled
its mandate to help replace
the scholars and professional
leaders of the Jewish com-
munity who were destroyed
in the Holocaust," said Dr.
Jerry Hochbaum, executive
vice president.
