Lithuanian policeman auctions property of people killed in SS-managed shooting operations

A Lithuanian auxiliary policeman auctions off property owned by persons killed in SS-managed shooting operations. Lithuanian auxiliaries served as shooters and guards in these operations. Were those who bought the clothing, who likely knew some of the victims in this small town, complicit in the crimes? Utena, Lithuania, July–August 1941.
