Phone 908-W NUDELMAN'S Angelus Summer Resort 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. Leave for Israel JTS Ceremonies * 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.
