of the German Fascist Invaders
List of victims from Gargzdai
This list was compiled by the Extraordinary State Commission to Investigate and Establish War Crimes, and is discussed at the Kretinga History Site. Copies of the Report, obtained from Yad Vashem, are posted on that website.
The list, in Cyrillic handwriting, contains 331 names and consecutively sets forth the towns of Kretinga, Palanga, Gargzdai (names 169 through 181), Andreski (Endriejavas), Darbenai, Mosedio (Mosedis) and Viveyonski (Veivirzenai ??). The title of the document refers to Soviet citizens shot by the German Fascist occupiers in Kretinga District. The Gargzdai names begin on page 7 and are transcribed below:
