Ex-Nazi Faints after Telling Role in Extermination

ULM (JTA)—A one-time Nazi
police officer, Wilhelm Gehrke,
testified in the trial of ten Ges-
tapo officers that he himself
took part in the execution of
at least 813 Jewish women and
children.
Gehrke, recently extradited
from Sweden, appeared as a
prosecution witness against for-
mer Tilsit Gestapo Chief Hans
Joachim B o ehme, Criminal
Kommissar Hains, and eight
other Gestapo officers.
The group, composing a spe-
cial Nazi extermination squad,
had been ordered to conduct
mass executions of Jews in
Lithuania, near the old Ger-
man border, shortly after Hit-
ler's armies invaded Russia in
1941. The ten men are accused
of having massacred more than
5,000 Jews, including many
women and children.

EVERETT WILSON, associate
professor of social work at the
University of North Carolina,
this fall will join the staff of
Yeshiva University's School of
Social Work.

After detailing the execu-
tions in which he had taken
part—at Haydekrug, Garsden,
Georgenburg and Wirballen-
Gehrke fainted. He had wept
throughout his recital on the
witness stand.
Gehrke testified that, after
the massacre of Jews in Geor-
genburg, Boehme ordered him
to "chase" more Jews out of
their homes for slaughter, be-
cause "the number killed was
too small."
After the massacres, he said
under oath, the extermination
squad held a banquet at a near-
by Lithuanian inn, paying for
food and cognac with money
taken from the victims.
A 67-year-old Lithuanian wo-
man, Mrs. Ona Rudaitis, also
testified, declaring she saw the
squad shooting Jewish women
and children is a pasture near
her home at Wirballen.
Gestapo chief Boehme, who
has been contending that he
was in charge only of extermi-
nating people who might ham-
per the Nazi army's occupa-
tion, finaly admitted on the
stand that he may have ordered

executions "without knowing
that women and children" were
among the victims.
