ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny
July 30, 2002
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
My husband and I have just returned from a 10-day trip to the West
Coast, and I am barely into my e-mail pile-up. I realize there was a
problem with one (or possibly several) of my ZGrams, but I need to
catch my breath before I check up on what may have happened. I ask
for your understanding and patience.

Estonia Offers Reward For Justice
Tallinn (AFP) -- An Estonian man has offered a reward for $20,000 for
information on Jewish officers of the Soviet KGB involved in
repression against Estonians, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
"For my part, I'm offering 20,000 US dollars to everyone whose honest
confession brings about a fair court's verdict of guilty on criminals
of the Jewish nationality who while serving in Soviet repressive
bodies in the 1940s committed genocidal crimes in Estonia," Heiki
Kortsparn was quoted as saying in the weekly Kesknadal.
The offer follows a $10,000 reward announced last week by the
Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Centre for information on residents in
the three Baltic states who collaborated with the Nazis in the
holocaust.
The $20,000 reward offer was published in a letter to the editor of
the newspaper of Estonia's Centrist Party, which is in a two-party
coalition government, but the party has not discussed the issue.
"We've published all sorts of letters representing all sorts of
views. The party doesn't discuss all letters before publishing them."
Kesknadal's editor-in-chief, Heamar Lenk said.
The Soviets deported over 30,000 Estonians to Siberia when they took
over the country at the outset and after World War II. Many of the
deported Estonian citizens suffered from disease and deprivation and
died from the inhumane conditions.
Estonia prosecutors have brought cases for crimes against humanity
against several ex-KGB officers for their involvement in the
deportations.

This is from an English language newspaper, printed in Moscow.
The Estonians know that it was the Jews who were involved in many of
the atrocities that occurred in their country during the war, and by
having this published, others may learn of the Jewish nature of
Communism.
See too the recently posted article by Andras Mink on my book on the
Hungarian uprising of 1956, which had jewish secret police activities
as its trigger-point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Hitler's War I hinted at the origins of the purge of the Baltic
region's Jews that actually preceded the Nazi invasion of June 1941.
In some regions, particularly the Baltic countries, the 'Jewish
problem' had solved itself. The natives had already taken primitive
revenge for 'Jewish excesses' after the Soviet invasion of Lithuania
in 1940. (Hitler was informed that the Red Army's 'Jewish commissars'
had rounded up the local businessmen one morning and shot them.) Now
that the boot was on the other foot, the Latvians and Lithuanians had
begun to liquidate every Jew they could lay hands on. Leeb's army
group brought these pogroms to the attention of Hitler's headquarters
on July 5; Colonel Schmundt replied that the German troops were not
to intervene -- it was 'a necessary mopping-up operation.' Visiting
Kovno (Kaunas) a few days later Otto Br=E4utigam was sufficiently
disturbed to write in his diary, on July 11: 'While we turn a blind
eye the Lithuanian auxiliary police is carrying out numerous pogroms
against the Jews.'
