    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."
