Two most wanted Nazis are Estonians

TALLINN - The Nazi-huntingSimonWiesenthalCenter has again listed Estonian-born Venezuelan millionaire Harry Manniland Mikhail Gorshkow, a resident of Estonia,among its 10 most-wanted war criminals.

Gorshkow is ranked ineighth place and Mannil in tenth place.

The Los Angeles-based SimonWiesenthalCenter claims that Mannil arrested Jewsand communists who were later executed by the Nazis while serving in Estonia's political police force during theNazi occupation.

The Estonian securitypolice and the Public Prosecutor's Office in late 2005 ended a five-yearinvestigation into Mannil's war-era activities, finding no proof of hisinvolvement in crimes against humanity. The investigation confirmed that Mannilwas a member of the Nazi occupation era political police and participated inthe questioning of Jews.

Gorshkow is alleged to havebeen an interrogator for the Nazi Gestapo and helping kill about 3,000 men,women and children in the Slutsk ghetto in Minsk, Belarus.

Gorshkow became a US citizen in 1953 but wasdenaturalized in 2002 and is under investigation in Estonia.

The list is topped by AloisBrunner, accused to deporting Hungarian and Greek Jews to death camps, Dr.Aribert Heim, a doctor with Hitler's SS who is accused of killing hundreds atthe Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria.
