Birutė Burauskaitė, director of the controversial state-sponsored Center for the Study of the Resistance and Genocide of Residents of Lithuania, says the names of about 40 Holocaust perpetrators will be released in a book to appear at the end of this year.

She said Arkadijus Vinokuras collected all the material for the book, including testimonies from relatives of Holocaust perps, and that she would write a review of it together with the Center’s Research Department director Arūnas Bubnys and several other of what she called the Center’s experts.

The book will only include people convicted in or determined by a court to have participated in the Holocaust and the names will be provided in a special list of surnames at the end of the book, she said. This is of the more than 2,000 names the Center was asked to release last year.
