According to the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most wanted Nazis, updated April 1, 2008, Mikhail Gorshkow is a former interpreter for the Gestapo in Minsk who may have been involved in the murder of about 3,000 men, women and children in the Slutsk ghetto in south-central Belarus in 1943.^[1]

An ethnic Russian born in 1923 in Estonia, Gorshkow became a United States citizen in 1963. In 2002, after the state of Florida stripped Gorshkow of his US citizenship for having lied to immigration officials fifty years earlier about his Nazi past, Gorshkow returned to Estonia. On the basis of the evidence handed over by the United States Department of Justice in 2003, Jüri Pihl, the Attorney General of the Republic of Estonia, opened an investigation into Gorshkow's alleged participation in war crimes in the Slutsk ghetto in 1943. The investigation was closed in October 2011 due to inconclusive evidence. According to the Office of the Prosecutor General, the possibility that more than one person with the surname Gorshkow collaborated with the Nazis could not be eliminated beyond reasonable doubt.^[2]
