The activities of the above given 18 ladies and gentlemen in the compilation of Part I and II of the List Book of the Deported in March were the following: the authors of the new texts were U. Ojatalu, U. Josia, A. Ruusmann and L Õispuu; all of them collected and processed the data; M. Saks and I. Peda inserted data into the electronic register. 17 people, who worked for ERPB (A. Ruusmann worked without salary ), got a symbolic monthly wage. It is impossible to pay separately for royalties and editing, as the income from the sales of the books will almost cover the publishing costs of the following List Book of the Repressed.

Aigi Rahi, Ph.D. Graduate Student at Tartu University has been a co-author.

The contributing establishments, editors, the designer, computer processors and the translator have been given on the title page.

In Part I we have written about the sponsors and "free of charge" co-operators.

I would like to express my utmost gratitude to everybody for wonderful co-operation. Shame on those, whose fault it was that the wages had to be so small.
