with anti-Semitic violence
against a local Jewish family
and a Jewish nursing home.

ber of the Hitler Youth move-
ment, Reinwald Lewitz, and

two other youthS were said to
have signed confessions admit-
ting a four-month crime spree
including an attempt to set fire
to the Kivel Nursing Home, fir-
ing nine bullets into the home
of William Himmelfarb and an
