Disclose Nazis
Tried to Smuggle
Blade to Eichinann

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Former
Nazis had tried twice to smuggle
a razor blade to the late Adolf
Eichmann, while the latter await-
ed hanging at Ramleh Prison,
it was revealed here by Attorney
General Gideon Hausner, chief
prosecutor of the Eichmann trial.
In one case, Hausner disclosed,
Germans now in Australia, who
lived formerly in the Palestinian
colonies of Sarona and Wilhel-
ma, sent Eichmann a postcard,
advising him to interest himself
in philately, and to be sure to
examine the stamp on the card.
The Israeli security officers fol-
lowed the advice—examining the
stamp and finding a thin blade
under the postage.
Another effort was made to
get a blade to Eichmann by in-
serting the thin-edged metal be-
tween the wrappings of a box of
matches. The senders had ap-
parently hoped Eichmann would
kill himself with the blade to
avoid hanging.
One of Eichmann's fictions,
which was exposed as false after
his arrest, was that he had been
born at the Sarona settlement in
pre-Israel Palestine. The Ger-
mans who had settled both Sa-
rona and Wilhelma left t h e
country immediately after Israel
was established, in 1948, most
of them moving en masse to
Australia.
