Charges Are Dropped
Against Camp Survivor
Involved in N.Y. Melee

NEW YORK — Charges against
a Jewish survivor of eight Nazi
concentration camps who accident-
ly hit a policeman when he tried
to strike a neo-Nazi demonstrator
in Times Square last month, were
dismissed here Monday by Cri-
minal Court Judge Francis X.
O'Brien.
The charge of third-degree
assault and disorderly conduct
against Wolfgang Silberberg, the
48-year-old concentration camp sur-
vivor, were dropped after Assist-
ant District Attorney John Col-
lins told the court that his office
did not feel it could prove the guilt
of the accused beyond a reasonable
doubt.
Outside of court, Silberberg's
lawyer, Paul N. Hodys, disclosed
that his client's defense would
have been one of temporary in-
sanity when he saw the brown
shirts and black boots of the
National Renaissance Party de-
monstrators who carried anti-
Jewish placards.
Jay Fudin, the policeman who
was accidently struck by Silber-
berg during the incident, is Jew-
ish. He later expressed regret ove
his role in arresting Silberberg,
but explained that "I had my job
to do. I don't have any love for
those Nazis."
