(Continued from Page 8) •The witness, Kalman Teig- man, said the uprising was or- ganized by inmates working as servants for the SS guards, and by others in camp service who were able to move about tlie camp. The children, who had access to the *barracks as shoe-shiners, managed to bring guns, amunition and hand gre- nades to the plotters. He said the original plan was to lure as many SS men as possible to the various work= shops, kill them individually and then make a break for freedom. When two of the or- ganizers were found • out 30 minutes before the revolt had been scheduled, the plans were put into effect immediately. SS men were shot down, the fuel stores ignited and the barracks and wire fences engulfed in th flames, as the prisoners ma their bid for freedom. Teigman told the court t Ukrainians in German unifor participated in all of the m ders. _He said he was assign to sorting out the personal b longings of the victims which were • sometimes piled "50 stories high." He said each transport to the camp averaged 60 freight cars with 80 to 100 victims in each car. Two of the transports contained gypsies and all the rest were made . up of Jews. Yechiel Dinur, who wrote un- der the pseudonym "Ka-Tzetnik 135633," was scheduled as first witness. Taken to the hospital, he regained consciousness but his re-appearance was post- poned.
