German Court Hears Testimony On Gassing of Auschwitz Victims FRANKFURT, (JTA) — Both SS technicians and concentra- tion camp survivors confirmed before a local court that vast numbers of Jews were put to death with potassium cyanide at the Nazi annihilation camp at Auschwitz and that they saw Dr. Gerhard Peters' special brand of potassium cyanide in the camp.

He is on trial for the seventh time in seven years, charged with aiding and abetting mur- der in 300,000 cases. He continues at liberty as a management ex- ecutive in a Cologne subsidiary of the IG Farben chemical em- pire. - A Jewish pharmacist from Munich, Dr. Fritz Strauch, told the court how he arrived at Auschwitz in 1943. On the rail- road platform a "selection" took place—healthy men in the mid- dle and sick and elderly to the right, women and children to the left—among them his own wife. The prisoners on the left and on the right were put to death in the gas chambers within ten minutes, he later learned. He was assigned to the camp phar- macy where he remained until Auschwitz was evacuated in Jan- uary of 1945. Dr. Strauch thought he recog- nized Peters as a repeated Auschwitz visitor, but he refused to take an oath on this point after 11 years. Among the court exhibits, he identified a "Zyklon B" can as the same type that was stored in the Auschwitz pharmacy, frequently withdrawn by SS men and then replaced by new shipment received from the DEGESCH plant. He could not acknowledge, however, that he had seen the gas chambers in actual opera- tion. Two other witnesses, a Ger- man political prisoner and an SS physician, the latter pre- viously acquitted by a Polish Crime Court a Cracow, saw the gas chambers in operation, but could not definitely establish whether Dr. Peters' Zyklon B." was the exterminatory agent.

Also unearthed was a tunnel hewn into the side of the cliff just below the northern Roman camp. . In the tunnel were the skele- tons of women and children and remnants of rough woolen ma- terials, s h o e s, earthenware utensils and food—all in good shape because of the exceed- ingly dry climatic 'Conditions. The findings confirm, accord- ing to the Department of An- tiquiites, that 'toward the end of Bar Kochba's rebellion a group of rebels fled with their families to this part of the des- ert, taking refugee in inaccessi- ble caves. The Romans appar- ently settled down above them in an attempt to starve them into surrender. During the same excavations, it was announced, potsherds and the remains of three small settlements of the bronze . age were also found confirming the existence of a bronze age civil- ization in the Judean desert. The archaeologists used 300-foot rope ladders to descend into the caves from above. To protect the men against the possibilities of dangerous falls, they were equipped with parachute packs. 8—DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, May 27, 1955 Cornerstone-Laying Avalon Hikers Plan Outing Avalon Hikers will meet at 1 p.m., Sunday, at the 'Avalon parking lot.
