- A pie chart indicating the populations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania by ethnic group, that accompanied the report of SS-Brigadier General Stahlecker to the Reich Security Main Office, Berlin.
This chart, entitled "The Population of the Baltic States 1935," shows that in 1935, 7.58% of Lithuanians were Jews. In 1939 the proportion of Jews increased to nearly 10% after the contested Vilna region was returned to Lithuania.

- Event History
- The Stahlecker report contains, among other things, the following information: "In Kovno a total of 7,800 have now been killed - a portion through the pogrom, a portion shot by Lithuanian commandos. All corpses have been disposed of. Continued mass shootings are no longer possible. Instead I explained to a committee of Jews that up to now, we have not had a reason to intervene in the internal conflicts between Lithuanians and Jews. The conditions to undergo reorganization are: Establish a Jewish ghetto....The town Viljampole has been designated to be the ghetto."
