Friday, August 30, 1963 — THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS -- 10 German Group Criticizes 'Mildness' Bohne, Nazi Defendant in Euthanasia Trial, Reported Missing DUSSELDORF (JTA) — One rying the anti-Semitic slogans leadership of Colin Jordan, an in Judging Nazis for War Crimes of the chief defendants in the were imprinted with the name ex-school teacher jailed for neo- BONN, (JTA)—The Associa- tion for Christian Jewish Co- operation circulated widely a memorandum expressing grave concern over the "mildness" of sentences imposed on Nazi war criminals by West German courts. Dr. Theodor Heuss, former president of West Germany, is patron of the association. The memorandum asserted that the cases of wartime mass murders and crimes of vio- lence committed by the Nazis were being handled differently from ordinary murder cases. The memorandum warned that a threat was - developing that "general concepts of justice will be increasingly influenced by the notion that crimes com- mitted on orders of the state are not real crimes, and that murder by decree or with offi- cial approval is less than ordi- nary murder." The memorandum was circu- lated among 60 law professors of West German universities and was sent to members of Bnai Israel Families End Month Sit-In Demonstration in Israel JERUSALEM ( JTA) —T we n ty families of Bnai Israel Jews from India ended a month-long demonstration outside the of- fices of the „Jewish Agency over a ariety of grievances - , when they were promised a meeting with Premier Levi Esh- kol. The principal complaint in- volved a long-running dispute with the Israeli rabbinate, which had questioned the valid- ity of the Jewishness of the Bnai Israelites. The dispute had led to charges of refusal by Israeli marriage registrars to wed Bnai Israel Jews with. Jews of other communities in Israel. After widespread pro- tests, the Israel Rabbinate set up regulations for such mar- riages requiring investigation of the Jewish backgrounds of Bnai Israel marriage applicants. The 20 families set up tents outside the Jewish Agency of- fiees and conducted a demon- stration by squatting in the tents. During the month, their cause was widely discussed in the local press and recently received formal support from the League Against Religious Coercion, which was organized to fight the exclusive control over matters of personal status maintained over Israeli Jews by the Israeli rabbinate. Announcing the end of the demonstration, the families said that the Jewish Agency had promised to reinstate them in jobs and that individual atten- tion would be given to the spe- cial integration problems of each family. parliament, state officials, and .trade union leaders. The memorandum asserted that the judgments in a num- ber of cases "have had repercus- sions on public opinion, and justify the attention drawn to certain erroneous developments in criminal jurisprudence" in West German courts. The state- ment declared that, in view of the large number of Nazi war crime cases still pending, it was necessary to draw attention as soon as possible to the "dan- gers" to which such jurispru- dence could lead. HANNOVER, (JTA) — .Dr. Otto Bradfisch and Guenter Fuchs, Nazi war criminals al- legedly responsible for the mur- der of 85,000 Jews in Poland during World War II, will go on trial here Sept. 2. Bradfisch, now serving a 10- year prison term for the mur- der of 15,000 Jews elsewhere in Nazi-occupied Europe, was an S.S. major. Fuchs, a former commissioner in the Nazi crim- inal police, has been in custody since 1960, pending trial. More than 100 witnesses from the United States and Israel are ex- pected to testify.

The message was sent in a cable to Adolph Held, chairman of the Jewish Labor Committee, following a telephone confer- ence by Pitterinan with Benja- min Tabachinsky, executive sec- retary of the Jewish labor or- ganization. The Austrian Vice-chancellor, who is also chairman of the Socialist Party, stated that the "Austrian Socialists consider the freeing of the accused Franz Murer by the jury in Gratz (Austria) as an erroneous decision." He said that the Min- ister of Justice Joseph Broda will appeal to the Austrian Su- preme Court for a reversal of the decision and the Socialists would give full support to the Minister's efforts. Murer had been Germany's gauleiter in Vilna during the Second World War and was ac- cused of having wiped out the Jewish residents of that city. He was tried on those charges several months ago in the city of Gratz, Austria and was ac- quitted by a jury made up of local citizens. .1.0•0 •1111•0.01•1•0 ■ 11.0•111=.0 .0111. 0 ,811! 0 ■ 011M 0•••• 0 •••• 0 .1•11, 11•101•1 ■ 04•111111, 0.111111.0 .11* 0 .111 ■ forthcoming trial of former of the National Socialist Party Nazi activities, has boasted pub- of England. licly that it is providing anti- Nazi officials responsible for The National Socialist move- Semitic materials to colleagues Hitler's euthanasia program, Dr. ment in England, under the in Germany.
