Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, has condemned Latvia's closure of the investigation into Herberts Cukurs, a Latvian war criminal and Nazi collaborator involved in the Holocaust. Yad Vashem is ready to provide documents from its archive to support prosecuting Cukurs. The organization also denounced the attempts to rehabilitate Cukurs's image in Latvia by distorting and ignoring historical truth.
