Vladas Zajanckauskas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vladas Zajanckauskas is an alleged Nazi war criminal who at age 91 (as of September 2007) stands to become the oldest person ever deported as a result of an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (OSI).[1] The OSI claims he took part in the Nazi operation at the Warsaw Ghetto, an operation that triggered the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and led to the extermination of more than 50,000 Jews.[1] He claims, as a captured member of the Lithuanian Army, to have been only in charge of the canteen at the Trawniki training camp, and to have never been to Warsaw.[1]
He recently completed a 99-page memoir, My Bits of Life in This Beautiful World, which describes his childhood and wartime experiences.[1]
