Vienna Prepares for Biggest Trial:
40 Men From Auschwitz Camp Staff

VIENNA (JTA) — The Vienna
public prosecutor's office disclos-
ed Tuesday that preparations were
underway for a trial of the Ausch-
witz death camp personnel which
will be the biggest war crimes
ial in Austrian history. Prelimi-
ry investigations have been
ade against former SS guards at
e camp.
The defendants will include
about 40 doctors, soldiers, officers
and SS men, several of whom will
be charged with operating the gas
chambers in which millions were
killed.
In Stuttgart, denials by two de-
fendants at a war crimes trial that
they had killed any Jews in occu-
pied Tarnopol in -Galicia were flat-
ly challenged by survivors who
listed specific details of such kill-
ings in testimony.
The accusers were Pawel Adler,'
a resident of New York, and
Faeok Mondschein, an electrician
in Israel, who testified against
Paul Raebel and Paul Mellar, two
of the 10 former SS officers on
trial here on charges of com-
plicity in mass murder's commit-
ted in the Galician town.
The New Yorker testified that
Raebel and Mellar shot and killed
Jews. He said that 20 Jews en-
gaged in forced labor and 15 other
victims who suffered from typhoid
were killed by the two Nazis be-
tween 1942 and 1943. Raebel then
asserted he had never killed any-
one as a former commander of a
section of Tarnopol and Meliar
said he had never even served in
the Tarnopol camp.
Adler nevertheless refused to
be shaken. He repeated that the
two former Nazis had shot Jews,
saying earnestly, "Believe me.
There is not the slightest doubt
of this." He then described in
detail the shooting of typhoid.
stricken victims in the section
Raebel commanded during the
war.
Mondschein, who was employed
in the home of one of the two de-
fendants, also testified against
them. He accused another defend-
ant, Mueller, of shooting Jewish
inmates. A. Landesman, now a
technician in a Haifa post office,
testified that his father was mur-
dered three days after the Ger-
mans entered Tarnopol.
He also related that two in-
mates, who sought to escape, were
caught. The rope with which they
were being hanged broke and they
begged for mercy, the witness said,
but Raebel immediately shot both
of them.
In Essen, three former members
a special SS commando unit
sentenced to terms of three
LO five years at hard labor on con-
viction of complicity in mass mur-
der in occupied Russia.
The defendants were Kurt Mat-
schke, 57, Eduard Spengnar, 55,
and- Franz Bormann, 55. They
were convicted of having partici-
pated in the murder of several
hundred Jewish men, women and
children in the Klinzy region in
Russia in 1942. Albert Rapp,
commander of the unit, was con-
victed in Essen last spring to life
imprisonment after an unqualified
confession of his guilt.
The Essen jury rejected the plea
of the three defendants that they
had simply obeyed orders.

A 52-year-old Jew who lives
now in Munich, accused a former
member of the Gestapo, Johann
Bornholt, of having shot his en-
tire family in Nowy Sacz, Po-
land, during World Warn. Born-
holt is one of several ex-Nazis on
trial now for war crimes in the
court at Bochum, West Ger-

He also told the court that the
Gestapo officers at Nowy Sacz
forced young Jewish children to
watch the execution of their par-
ents. The Nazi„ he said, would
feed the children a good break-
fast, consisting of rolls and cof-
fee, before killing them.
