Two Alleged War Criminals May Face Trial in Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Two alleged Dutch war
criminals linked to the
murders of Jews and
others during World War
II could possibly stand
trial in Israel.
The foreign ministry
announced that it will
seek the extradition of
Lambertus Johannes
Loy en, 58, who received a
life sentence in Roer-
mond, Holland, Tuesday
for murdering more than
100 Jews while serving as
an SS guard at the Bob-

ruisk forced labor camp in
Poland in 1942-43.
MK Hillel
Seidel,
meanwhile, has asked
Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon to join Holland in
demanding the extradi-
tion of Pieter Menten, 78,
a suspected war criminal
who fled Holland last
month to avoid arrest and
was apprehended near
Zurich, Switzerland,
more than a week ago.
Much of the evidence
against both men was pro-
vided by Israeli survivors

who were eye-witnesses to
their crimes. Menten, a
multi-millionaire art
dealer, was exposed by a
Dutch-Jewish journalist,
Hans Knoop, on the basis
of information obtained
from Israeli sources.
He is suspected of com-
plicity in the murders of
several thousand Jews
and Poles while an officer
in a Nazi SS unit at Lem-
berg, Galicia, in 1941.
The Swiss government
has not yet decided
whether to comply with

Holland's extradition re-
quest for Menten. The
cabinet is expected to
take up the matter today.
Menten has engaged a
lawyer and his wife has
appeared on Dutch tele-
vision from Zurich claim-
ing his innocence. - In a
letter to the Dutch minis-
ter of justice, copies of
which were distributed to
the press, Menten alleged
that the victims buried in
mass graves at Lemberg
were killed by Russians
and Ukranians, not
the Germans. He a
claimed to have sworn
evidence that he was
elsewhere when the mass
murders occurred.
Mrs. Menten said she
and her husband fled their
country home in Holland
Nov. 14 because he feared
extradition to Poland or
Russia. His lawyer has ap-
pealed to the Swiss au-
thorities not to return
Menten to Holland on
grounds that he would not
receive a fair trial there.
A Dutch magistrate,
meanwhile, has ordered
the seizure of a large
number of paintings in
Menten's possession
which he allegedly looted
from Jewish and non-
Jewish owners in Poland
during World War II.
Menten had planned to
auction the paintings.
