Report of the Estonian International Commission for the Investigation of Crimes

1. Estonia and the Holocaust

1.1. the killing of Estonian Jews.

Round-ups and killings began immediately following the arrival of the first German troops, who were closely followed by the extermination squad Einsatzkommando (Sonderkommando) 1A, commanded by Martin Sandberger, part of Einsatzgruppe A under Walter Stahlecker. Arrests and executions continued as the Germans advanced through Estonia. About 75% of Estonia's Jewish community, aware of the fate that otherwise awaited them, managed to escape to the Soviet Union; virtually all the remainder (between 950 and 1000 men, women and children) were killed before the end of 1941. They included Estonia's only rabbi; the professor of Jewish Studies at Tartu University; Jews who had left the Jewish community; the mentally disabled; and a number of veterans of Estonia's war of independence. Less than a dozen Estonian Jews are known to have survived the war in Estonia.

1.2. the killing of foreign Jews on the territory of Estonia.

The Germans deported to Estonia an unknown number of Jews from other countries, including Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Germany and Poland. A labor camp was established at Jägala in 1942, commanded by Aleksander Laak, an Estonian. During 1942 several transports arrived from Terezin. Some 3,000 Jews not selected for work were taken to Kalevi-Liiva and shot. The Jägala camp was liquidated in the spring of 1943: most of the prisoners were shot.

A camp complex based at Vaivara was established in September 1943, commanded by German officers (Hans Aumeier, Otto Brennais and Franz von Bodman). The complex consisted of approximately twenty field camps, some of which existed only for short periods. As the Russians advanced in autumn 1944, a number of prisoners were evacuated by sea to the concentration camp in Stutthof, near Danzig. At Klooga, approximately 2,000 prisoners were shot, their bodies stacked on pyres and burned. Killings also took place at various times in the central prison in Tallinn, in a camp in Tartu, and at other locations.

1.3. The participation of Estonian military units and police battalions in towns and transit camps outside Estonia, and at labor and concentration camps in Estonia, while acts of genocide or crimes against humanity took place involving the killing or deportation of Jews and other civilians, in which the units played a variety of roles...

The Commission has reviewed the role of Estonian military units and police battalions in n effort to identify the specific units which took part in the following actions:

1) escorting Jews deported from Vilnius to camps in Estonia.
2) providing guards for the Vaivara camp complex, the camps at Tartu, Jägala, Tallinn, and camps for Soviet POWs, in all of which prisoners were killed.
3) guarding the transit camp for Jews at Izbica in Poland, where a significant number of Jews were killed.
4) providing guards to prevent the escape of Jews being rounded up in several towns in Poland, including Lodz, Przemysl, Rzeszow, and Tarnopol.
5) the roundup and mass shooting of the Jewish population of at least one town in Belarus (Novogrudok).
