TANUGA
BONN (JTA) — The former
commander of a Nazi concen-
tration camp near Riga and two
other SS guards will go on trial
in September charged with the
murder of thousands of Jews,
Russians and others, the West
German Attorney General an-
nounced here after a prelimi-
nary investigation whose report
encompasses 500 pages.
The defendants, Gustav
Sorge, Wilhelm Schubert and
Martin Kmittler, all were re-
leased from Soviet prisoner of
war camps to Germany on con-
dition that West German courts
try them for war crimes.
Specifically, they are charged
with the murder of 420 Jews,
churchmen, Socialists and Com-
munists and the execution of
19,800 Russian prisoners of war.
An additional 100 Jews were
murdered by one defendant dur-
ing the pogroms in Germany in
November, 1938.
Some 315 witnesses were
questioned in the preliminary
inquiry. At least 161 witnesses
were called from other coun-
tries — in Europe, the United
States and Israel. Two of the
defendants, Schubert and Kmitt-
ler, were serving life sentences
in Siberia when they were
turned over to the Bonn repa-
triation authorities. Schubert
was commander of the Riga
camp w h e r e, the indictment
charge s, Jews were literally
"worked to death" building an
air base for the Luftwaffe.
In Bayreuth, two former SS
officials, one a judge and the
other a police inspector, testi-
fied at the trial of former con-
centration camp guard Martin
Sommer that at an SS trial in
1943 he had confessed to the
murder by poison or air injec-
tion in a blood vessel of at least
50 prisoners at Buchenwald.
The judge, Dr. Konrad Mor-
gan,_ presided at the. SS trial
of Sommer and other camp per-
sonnel including its comman-
dant H. Koch who had em-
bezzled huge sums from the
Nazis.
In the course of the 1943 trial
it was found that prisoners who
knew of the activities of the SS
thieves had been systematically
murdered by Sommer, who now
asserts that his confession in
1943 was "forged" and that he
had been trying to cover up the
murders of the camp doctor.

Christopher Fry's 'Firstborn' Opens in Israel,
Audience Enthusiastic, Critics—So, So
The Broadway play, "The
Firstborn," by Christopher Fry,
opened in Tel Aviv to mixed
reactions. The play, depicting
the struggles between Moses
and Pharoh, is the first N.Y.
play brought to Israel and was
presented there in honor of Is-
rael's tenth anniversary cele-
bration.
"The Firstborn" was warmly
applauded by the audience, but
reviews ranged from "an admir-
0
able example of highly stylized
professional theater," to "not up
to the standard of an average
Israeli production." The critics
noted, as did The Jewish News
several weeks ago, that the thea-
trical Moses was not biblically
sound. The play portrays Moses
as eloquent (instead of stut-
tering) and as being born of
an Egyptian family (completely
contrary to the biblical ac-
count).
