Bank Failure May Force Closing
of Nazi Documentation Center

VIENNA - The collapse of
a small Austrian bank may
_force the closing of the Jew-
ish Documentation Center
here, which Simon Wiesen-
thal operates to trace Nazi
criminals. •
Wiesenthal, who spent five
years tracking Aldolph Eich-
mann and 30 years tracing
hundreds of Nazi war crim-
inals, said he has considered
closing his operation because
of the loss of nine-months'
-- operating, expenses in the
bar - ilure. He declined to
the exact amount.
disL
Friends in Germany and
the United States are helping
to ke--, the center open. Only
-$2,5 the bank account is
JproteL.ted by the Austrian
-cgoverziment.
Wiesenthal, 65, started the
center after he was released
from the Mauthausen death
amp in 1945. The small op-
eration included only his
files, i copying machine, two
secretaries and several stu-
dents.
The center closed in 1954
after interest in his work de-.
dined. He worked for five
years in his spare time to
trace Eichmann, head of the
Gestapo Jewish section who
was convicted and executed
by Israel in 1962.
