Humanity as Mitch as Against the Jews
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — Adolf Eichmann was formally accused 'Wednesday by the government of
Israel, in a 15-count indictment, of committing a long list of crimes against humanity and the
Jewish people.
The indictment was made public at the same time that it was formally handed to Dr.
Robert Servatius, of Cologne, who will direct the defense of the former Gestapo colonel who is
charged with directing the extermination of 6,000,000 European Jews. The delivery of the indict-
ment to Dr. Servatius, along with a list of prosecution witnesses, set in motion the machinery
for the once postponed trial now set to open March 15.
The indictment listed seven counts of crimes against humanity, four against the J
.
people,. one war crime and three crimes of belonging to Nazi organizations.

German-occupied eastern , regions and partly concentrated in labor camps by the Hitler elite SS
under inhuman conditions.
Eichmann also was accused, together with others, of having caused in 1941 the deporta-

settlement of German families. According to the indictment, the Slovenes were transferred to
Serbia by coercive terrorist measures under inhuman conditions.

sands of gypsies to concentration camp, and then to extermination centers in German occupied
territories, to be murdered. In 1942 the indictment charged that Eichmann, with others, caused
the deportation of 100 children from Lidice in Czechoslovakia, their transport to Poland and their
destruction there.
