EDITORS NOTES GRAPHIC CONTENT - The photo taken between 1941 and 1943 near Vinnitsa, Ukraine, provided by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum shows German soldiers of the Waffen-SS and the Reich Labor Service looking on as a member of an Einsatzgruppe prepares to shoot a Ukrainian Jew kneeling on the edge of a mass grave filled with corpses. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has identified dozens of former members of Nazi mobile death squads who might still be alive, and is pushing the German government for an investigation, The Associated Press has learned on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014. The Wiesenthal Center's top Nazi hunter, Efraim Zuroff, told the AP that in September he sent the German justice and interior ministries a list of 76 men and four women who served in the so-called Einsatzgruppen.
