ALLEGED NAZI TO BE DEPORTED An Indiana housing contractor found to have participated in Nazi atrocities has been placed in deportation proceedings. The decision was made after the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court's ruling stripping Hammond, Indiana resident Kazys Ciurinskas of his citizenship. According to the head of Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, the office that handles the US government's Nazi hunting operations, "Ciurinskas participated in horrific atrocities as part of this Nazi-backed battalion and we are seeking to have him removed from this country as expeditiously as possible." A Federal Court found that he aided in the persecution and murder of thousands of Jews while serving in the 2nd Lithuanian Schutzmannschaft Battalion. This unit conducted mobile killing operations at the orders of the Nazis. The Battalion murdered more than 10,000 civilians in Byelorussian in one month alone in 1941. Ciurinskas was found to have participated in the killings. Ciurinskas, now 80, entered the US in 1949 after emigrating from Germany and became a citizen six years later. The US courts found that he lied about his war record. Ciurinskas alleges that he was a miller during the war years.
