Ordered 300 Jews to Death, Ex-Nazi Officer Admits BERLIN, (JTA) — A former Nazi officer testified this week at his trial in the shooting of 300 Jews in the Ukraine in 1942 that he had ordered the killings out of fear that if he had refused to do so, he himself would have been exe- cuted. Alois Huelsduenker, 68, said that as chief of the Nazi security police post in Berdit- chev, he had been ordered to liquidate the 300 Jews in the camp. Asserting that he knew he was participating in a crime, he said: "In my anguish I thought of my wife and six children at home. If I had re- fused to execute the order, I would have been put before a special court myself and sen- tenced to death by shooting."
