Switzerland to Extradite Nazi;
'Eichmann of Auschwitz' Is Freed

BONN (JTA) — The ministries
of justice and police of Switzer-
land notified West Germany Tues-
day that they will hand over to
West German authorities Erhard
Kroeger, a former SS general, ar-
rested in Zurich on German
charges of personal responsibility
in the murder of 3,045 Jews and
mentally ill persons in Lemberg,
Poland, in 1941. During the war,
he was chief of a Nazi commando
unit in occupied Russia.

Jews Spur Efforts
for Rio Flood Victims

RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA)—Jew-
ish organizations, prominent Jew-
ish individuals and firms operated
by Jews continued to distinguish
themselves in aiding the 40,000
residents of this city who were
made homeless and hit hard other-
wise by the catastrophic rain storm
and floods that hit Rio de Janeiro
last week.
At least 200 persons lost their
lives, hundreds of others were in-
jured, and many thousands, most-
ly Negroes inhabiting the affected
section of the city, were the chief
sufferers.
Aid was given during the height
of the occurrence by the Pioneer
Women; Hebraica, a Jewish club;
the synagogue of Central Euro-
pean Jews; the Jewish Hospital,
and a number of Jewish schools.

The Bloch Publishing House,
operated by Jews, announced
Monday it would build at least
five residences for those who
had lost their shelter, and a
number of other Jewish firms
announced their participation in
reconstruction activities. Jewish
physicians, women's organiza-
tions and other Jewish groups
are being lauded for their aid
to the victims of the catastro-
phe.

The synagogue in this city
formed by Jewish immigrants from
Egypt was badly damaged. The
house of worship was located in
the Copacabana district, where
most of the heavy damage oc-
curred during the storms.
Rocks from nearby mountains
had gutted part of the synagogue.
However, the Holy Scrolls in the
synagogue had been saved before
the rock slides occurred. A check
revealed that no other properties
belonging to any section of the
Jewish community had been dam-
aged by the storms.
(A shipment of 300 units of
blood plasma as well as transfu-
sion equipment contributed by the
Magen David Adorn, Israel's emer-
gency medical organization, was
} sent aboard an El Al aircraft from
Israel to aid the victims in Brazil.
Representatives of the foreign
ministry, the Brazilian Embassy
and the Magen Dovid Adorn were
on hand at Lydda Airport as the
consignment was placed aboard
the plane.)

Latin American MDs
Settle in Negev Region

BEERSHEBA — Of the 180
doctors from Latin America who
have settled in Israel during the
past seven years, 60 are practic-
ing medicine in Beersheba and the
surrounding Negev area. This fact
was reported by Dr. Hayim Doron,
regional director of Kupat Holim
in the Negev.

CARD OF THANKS

The family of the late Mamie
Bloom acknowledges with grate-
ful appreciation the many kind ex-
pressions of sympathy extended
by relatives and friends during the
family's recent bereavement.

Kroeger had come recently from
Italy, where he was living, on a
safe conduct guarantee, to testify
in the trial of two former Nazis,
charged as war criminals in a
court at Wuppertal.
The two, both former leaders of
the SS, are Alfred Rendorfer and
Wilhelm Babischek. They have
been found guilty of complicity in
the mass execution of Jews in
Russia during the war, and are
to face sentence next week.
They had pleaded nnocent,
saying that the Jewish children
they had ordered shot, at Barano-
wice, were executed "not s3ecific-
ally" as Jews, but were included
among others who were not Jew-
ish.
Kroeger testified at their trial
that he was not aware of any
killings. He then left to return
to Italy, under his safe conduct
document. But, at Zurich, where
he stopped to visit a son, the
Swiss police arrested him on
West Germany's request.
According to the Swiss notifica-
tion, Kroeger will have to be given
a hearing before he is turned over
to the Germans. However, Switz-
erland recognizes the crime of
which Kroeger is charged as ex-
traditable.
Italy, on the other hand, calls
such a crime "political," and not
extraditable. In 1963, a court in
Bologna, Italy, refused to order
Kroeger extradited when the Ger-
mans requested that he be handed
over, terming the charge against
him "a political offense."
Earlier, Robert Mulka, the
wartime assistant commandant
of the Auschwitz concentration
camp, who was sentenced last Au-
gust to 14 years' imprisonment
at hard labor for his war crimes,
was released from prison. The
reason given for his release was
that he was ill. lie was known
as "the Eichmann of Auschwitz."
Mulka was considered one of the
major Nazis responsible for the
murder of several hundred thou-
sand Jews at Auschwitz. During
the 20-month-long trial of leading
Auschwitz personnel, he was ac-
cused of many atrocities. His 14-
year sentence was the highest
term given to all but six of the 20
defendants. The latter were sen-
tenced to life imprisonment.
Consternation over Mulka's re-
lease was expressed here. The
state prosecutor at Frankfurt,
where the trial had been held,
immediately filed a complaint
against the freeing of Mulka. It
was pointed out that long-term
prisoners who become ill are usu-
ally transferred to a prison hospit-
al, instead of being released out-
right.
(The Dutch Auschwitz Commit-
tee sent a telegram to West Ger-
many's Chancellor Ludwig Erhard,
protesting Mulka's release, accord-
ing to a Jewish Telegraphic Agen-
cy dispatch received from The
Hague. The Dutch group called
the freeing of Mulka "an offense
against the victims of Nazism.")
Two former Nazis convicted of
war crimes in a trial in Riga, Lat-
via, have been executed, accord-
ing to a dispatch from Riga re-
ceived in London by the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency. The men
were named as Jozef Basankovitz
and Janis Krasovskis.
