NEW YORK (JTA) — imon Wiesenthal, the Nazi hunter, announced plans for an international postcard ca—r)aign designed to con- \ 1 the West German government to extend its statute of limitations on the prosecution of Nazi war vi•minals beyond the pre- sent deadline of Dec. 31, 1979. He announced the cam- paign at a press conference attended by Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman (D-N.Y.) and Martin Mendelsohn, a lawyer named recently to head the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Serv- ice's Nazi war crime litiga- tion unit. Holtzman said it was "ironic" that the statute of '-imitations would become effective, unless the date of effectiveness is extended, at a time when the U.S. gov- ernment "is finally moving aggressively against Nazi war criminals." This was a reference to a bill she sponsored, signed into law by President Carter on Oct. 30, that would for the first time offifially bar from entry into the United States or make liable for deportation all aliens who entered this country :':since 1952 and who are known 'to have perse- cuted others because of race, religion or national origin. Mendelsohn said that "more than 200 cases of al- leged Nazi war criminals living in this country are now being investigated by the federal government." The war crimes unit is cur- rently involved in court cases against 12 alleged Nazi war criminals. - - tain diplomatic ties with Is- rael, recently completed a special seminar in Jerusalem in biblical tradi- tion and community de- velopment.
