The_Holocaust_in_Estonia--Louis-Ferdinand_Celine

The Holocaust in Estonia refers to Nazi crimes during the occupation of Estonia by Nazi Germany.
By the end of 1941 virtually all of the 950 to 1,000 Estonian Jews were killed by German units such as Einsatzgruppe A and/or local collaborators. The Romani people in Estonia were also killed or enslaved by Nazi occupiers and their collaborators.The occupation authorities also killed around 6,000 ethnic Estonians and 1,000 ethnic Russians in Estonia, often claiming that they were communists or communist sympathizers, a categorization that also encompassed relatives of alleged communists. In addition around 15,000 Soviet prisoners-of-war and Jews from other parts of Europe were killed in Estonia during the German occupation.
