"Einsatzgruppen," as well as
"local" Jews in German-occu-

that he thought German Jews
were not being killed. How-
ever, he said, knowing "the cus-
toms in Eastern territories," he
made sure to send German Jews
to Lodz "which was a safer
place than the Eastern terri-
tories."

shouted: "Lodz was a safer

eral policemen hurried the

courtroom.
Hausner introduced two docu-
ments, showing that a Nazi offi-
ial in the Jewish Affairs bu-
au of .„the Ministry for East,
ern Affairs had suggested that
Jews be gassed instead of being
shot, adding the phrase: "Eich-
mann agrees." The prisoner re-
plied that he had never as-
sented to such a proposal, in-
sisting that inclusion of his
name was "a falsification."
Eichmann requested the court
to order a probe of these docu-
ments by a handwriting expert.
"Then everything will be clear,"
he persisted.
Hausner quoted Eichrnann as
saying, during the police inter-
rogation in Israel prior to the
trial, that the German Security
Office had agreed to the gassing
of Jews through Eichmann's
office. The prosecutor pointed
to "the strange coincidence"
that gassing methods were in-
troduced shortly after Eich-
