Call 354 6060 - New York (JTA) — Respon- ding to an outcry from Jew- ish groups, the Lithuanian government has reversed the rehabilitation of six former prisoners who col- laborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust, the Simon Wiesenthal Center reported. The six names were sub- mitted last year by the Wiesenthal Center and other Jewish groups to Lithuanian officials after it was made known that Vilnius had embarked on a project to reverse prison sentences meted out by the Soviet Communist govern- ment. The Lithuanian govern- ment had proceeded with the pardons in its first birth pangs as an independent country shucking off the legal and penal encum- brances of Soviet rule. Some 35,000 Lithuanians convicted of war crimes by the Soviet regime were ex- onerated of any wrongdoing by the democratically elect- ed Lithuanian government. Information about the re- versal of pardons for six. of those individuals was given to Efraim Zuroff, director of the Wiesenthal Center's Israeli office, by the new Lithuanian president, Algirdas Brazauskis. Mr. Zuroff was in Lithuania on behalf of Knesset Speaker Shevach Weiss, himself a Holocaust survivor, to arrange an up- coming visit by an Israeli delegation that is to negotiate the terms of a joint Lithuanian-Israeli commis- sion of inquiry. A commission to review the rehabilitations was agreed upon last year by then-President Vytautas Landsbergis. He told Ameri- can Jewish communal leaders at the time that his government was working to determine which cases should not have been rehabilitated in the mass amnesty. Mr. Landsbergis' party, Sajudis, was defeated in the recent Lithuanian elections and he now heads the oppo- sition. At the meeting with Mr. Zuroff, Mr. Brazauskis, a former Communist who broke with Moscow early on, indicated that his govern- ment is willing to play an ac- tive role in the investigation of Nazi war criminals. But he said Vilnius has been noncommittal about his specific complaints regarding the reluctance of Lithuanian nationals to testify against Lithuanian war criminals living abroad. This phenomenon, which has developed with Lithua- nian independence, has been a major obstacle to the pros- ecution of Nazi war criminals living in Canada, Australian and the United Kingdom. "Unfortunately, in many- cases fellow perpetrators are the sole witnesses, and without their testimony, some of the worst of Hitler's henchmen will never be brought to trial," Mr. Zuroff said in a statement released; in Jerusalem. Mr. Zuroff also visited Estonia and met with Prime Minister Mart Laar, who in- dicated that his government A commission to review the rehabilitations was agreed upon. would participate in effort_ to investigate and prosecute Nazi collaborators in cases in which sufficient evidence could be found. At his request, Mr. Zuroff was granted access to the former KGB archives an was able to examine the files of suspected Nazi war criminal Evald Mikson, who lives in Iceland under the name Edward Hinriksson. Mr. Mikson is alleged to have been a Gestapo in vestigator at the Tartu con- centration camp who carrie out executions near the camp. In October, the Icelandic government recommended that no action be taken in the Mikson case. Mr. Zuro said the Icelandic judicia commission that examined Mr. Mikson's background failed to sufficiently look into it. He maintained that it "made no effort to ask th governments of Estonia an Sweden for the pertinent documentation." Mr. Zuroff said the KGB files "contain numerous witness statements regar- ding Mikson's participation
