More than a few are on anti-communist memorials.

The names represent individuals who were investigated through a special legal system established towards the end of World War Two. Of them, more than 150,000 faced some form of punishment.

So not all of them are actually collaborators, but I guess it's helpful to be able to look up the files of the original investigation to see what they found.

It's also useful to know who wasn't. Courts find people not-guilty all the time.

America is collaborating with Israel. Release all their names!
