Co a VISA Tel Aviv (JTA) — Dr. Josef Mengele, the Auschwitz death camp doctor responsible for in- human medical experiments on 1,500 pairs of twins and the man who played a role in the deaths of some 300,000 Auschwitz inmates, will be tried in absentia in Jerusalem next week, during an international conference of the twins who survived the Nazi doc- tor's experiments. Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesent- hal, who has come to Israel for the public trial, said Monday that the eye-witness evidence it will pro- duce of Mengele's crimes is more important than the fate of the criminal. Mengele's "life is absolutely without any importance, and be- lieve me that thorughout the 25 years I have been occupied in the search for him, we have had many propositions, from people who could do it, to kill him," Wiesent- hal said, adding that he has al- ways refused such offers. "A trial against Mengele would be the big historic lesson," the Nazi-hunter said. "It will be this lesson the young people need. And this will be a battle won against all the denyers, whether simple people or university professors," Wiesenthal said, referring to the current crop of Holocaust re- visionists. "What he (Mengele) has done cannot be punished. How can you punish a man who was responsi- ble for the deaths of 300,00Q - CG‘XY AB) --- •■ . Rabbi Harold Kushner Harold S.

Wiesenthal said he was "99 per- cent certain" that Mengele is still living in Paraguay under the pro- tection of powerful friends within the military dictatorship of that country. Meanwhile, a public meeting marking the 40th anniversary of the Allied liberation of Auschwitz was held in Jerusalem Sunday. Some 1,200 Auschwitz survivors and their children attended. A similar gathering was held at Oswiecim (Auschwitz) in Poland, site of the death camp, to mark the anniversary. - In Washington last' week, Assistant. Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanita- rian Affairs Eiliot Abrams said that the Reagan Administration would back the Justice Depart- ment's investigation into reports that Mengele was arrested by American authorities in the U.S. occupied zone of Vienna in 1947 and then released. This was indicated in army in- telligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles. The docu- ments reportedly mention that Mengele may have sought entry to Canada from Argentina under an alias in 1962 and that U.S. in- telligence was informed of his visa application.
