THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS — Friday, December 29, 1961—
AJC Censures Adolf Heusinger as `Amoral' Nazi
The career of West German
General Adolf Heusinger was
characterized by the American
Jewish Congress as "typified at
best by a brutal and opportunistic
amorality."
But the Congress disassociated
itself from the demand by the
Soviet Union that Heusinger be
extradited to Moscow to stand
trial for war crimes and crimes
against peace and humanity.
"The duplicity of Soviet Rus-
sia's attack on Gen. Heusinger is
transparent in the light of the
warm welcome the USSR has
given other Nazi generals who
have lent themselves to Soviet
purposes," Julian Freeman, chair-
man of the international affairs
commission of the American
Jewish Congress, declared.
The American Jewish Con-
gress statement supported an
editorial in the Protestant maga-
zine Christian Century that de-
scribed Gen. Heusinger as a "la-
bility" to the democratic cause
and that urged the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization to "drop
him" as Chairman of the NATO
Military Representatives Com-
mittee.
Support to the American
Jewish Congress and the
Christian Century, on their
clemind that Heusinger be re-
move& from his high NATO
post, was announced by the
Jewish Cultural Clubs and
Societies.
A letter by the clubs and
societies to Dr. Joachim Prinz,
president of the American Jew-
ish Congress, declared that "the
Jewish people of the United
Six Nazis Indicted
in Murder of 11,000
BERLIN, (JTA)—Six former
leaders of Hitler's SS elite
guard were indicted this week
on charges of murder or com-
plicity in the murder of 11,000
Jews during World War IL
They were arrested in Febru-
ary, 1959, and have been in pre-
trial detention since. The trial
is expected to start in the
spring.
The indictment was filed by
West Berlin's Public Prosecutor.
Those indicated are former S.S.
Col. Alfred Filbert, 56, man-
ager of a West Berlin bank;
Gerhard Schneider of Lower
Saxony; Bodo Stuck, former
Hanover police commissioner;
Wilhelm Greiffenberger of
Bavaria; Konrad Fiebig of Mun-
ich, and Heinrich Tunner, form-
er managing director of the
Oldenburg Chamber of Com-
merce.

States and other democratic
Americans will doubtless hail
the statement . . . that the
American Jewish Congress
would 'energetically oppose'
Heusinger's reappointment" as
chairman of the Permanent
Military Representative Com-
mittee of NATO, with its office
in the Pentagon.
The clubs called attention to
the growing opposition against
the Heusinger appointment, cit-
ing a documented attack in the
Senate by Senator Wayne Morse
on April 19, 1961, a conference
last Oct. 15 called by the Chi-
cago Anti-Adolf Heusinger Com-
mittee under the chairmanship
of Rabbi S. Burr Yampol, and
protest meetings in New York,
Los Angeles and other cities.
