Bonn Will Not Re-Inter
Bergen-Belsen Victims
BONN (JTA)—The graves of
Nazi victims at the former Ber-
gen-Belsen concentration camp
will not be dug up for reinter-
ment, as proposed by the French
government.
The denial of the French .re-
quest was announced by the
Foreign Ministry here with the
issuance of a letter from the
Ministry to Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann, who had written a vigor-
ous protest against the plan.
Dr. Goldmann, along with
many others who had protested
t h e disinterment plan, had
pointed out in his letter that
the great majority of the Nazi
victims buried in mass graves at
Bergen-Belsen were Jews and
not French nationals.
Among the protests against
the French- proposal were reso-
lutions from many Jewish and
non-Jewish organizations o f
former Nazi victims in Israel
and in other countries.
