Polish Jews Invited
t`o Testify at Trials

WARSAW (JTA) — Representa-
tives of the Jewish community
have been invited to testify at the
trial of the Nazi rulers of War-
saw, which opened here last week.
Dr. Adolph Berman and' Mark
Bitter, leaders of the Central Com-
mittee of Polish Jews, who were
in Poland during the German oc-
cupation, will testify concerning
the annihilation of 1,600,000 Jews
under the direction of the four
defendants: Ludwig Fischer, for-
mer_ governor of Warsaw; Lud-
wig Leist, Fischer's assistant and
the town commandant; Joseph
Meissinger, chief of the Warsaw
Gestapo and Max Daume, head of
'he German police force.
Chief Prosecutor Siewierski said
that the Jews of the Warsaw Ghet-
to were subjected to indescribable
horrors prior to their execution.
He pointed out that Fischer and
his assistants profited personally
to the extent of millions of marks
as a result of the confiscation of
Jewish property.
Attending the trial as an ob-
server is Maj. Gen. Telford Taylor,
chief U. S. prosecutor at Nurem-
berg.
A government announcement re.
veals that about 380 Nazi war
criminals are awaiting trial. Re-
cently another 30 were brought to
Stettin from Germany, including
Erich Besche, the director of the
German police in Warsaw between
1941 and 1943; Franz Seifert, a
high SS officer who personally
murdered hundreds of Jews in
Lodz and Fridrich Kuchenbecker,
who had a roving assignment dur-
ing which he arranged for the
mass murder of tens of thousands
of Jews in various parts of Po-
land.
Four Nazis who were being
brought to Poland from the U. S.
zone in Germany escaped last
week from a train. From docu-
ments they abandoned it was
learned that they had been in
contact with German civilians.

Another witness declared that
the Nazis sterilized as many as
1,000 Jewish women a day during
1943. Sterilization resulted from
injections of an Irritating solu-
tion during routine gynecological
examinations without the victims
being. aware of it.
Dr. Levy, who was in charge of
a Jewish ward where the major
portion of the cases were men and
women who had been sterilized
and badly burned by X-rays, said
most of the burn cases developed
into cancer, adding that all the
sterilized patients eventually be-
came physical wrecks. He said that
German doctors made periodic
checks of his ward, sending thin
and weak patients to the gas
chamber.
The prosecution also introduced
evidence proving that sterilization
