FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1991
draws over 4,000 visitors an-
nually during the brief time
it's open, from June 1-Sept. 15
each year. Its season is short
because over one third of the
plants are tropical, and frost
comes early in western
Pennsylvania.
But when the frost hits Pitt-
sburgh, there are gardens
elsewhere to enjoy and ex-
plore. In fact, Jewish travelers
can plan a trip almost any-
time and find a garden in
bloom — and one with special
Jewish significance. The
gardens of New England or
Pittsburgh in the summer,
New Orleans in fall or spring,
and even in the dead of
winter, the garden at the
Judah Magnes Museum in
Berkeley is in bloom.
In any season, these and
other gardens are a special
delight.

garden includes plants — over
100 different species —
flowers, trees and a fountain
and waterfall.
"We get visitors from all
over the United States and
from abroad," says Irene
Jacob, co-founder and director
of the garden. Some come
specifically to Pittsburgh to
see the garden. Others have
no idea that such an exten-
sive and unusual garden is
located in the heart of the
city.
All plants in this garden
are specifically mentioned in
the Bible or have names
derived from the Bible. And
all are carefully labeled. Ms.
Jacob, a horticulturalist and
author, did much of the
research herself and even
wrote a guide to the garden.
Dedicated five years ago, it
Bonn (JTA) — Josef
Schwammberger is purpose-
ly suppressing knowledge of
wartime events which he is
well capable of remember-
ing, according to an expert
witness called to testify at
the accused Nazi war
criminal's trial in Stuttgart.
Dr. Hans Lauter testified
last week that the 79-year-
old former SS official has an
intact memory and relative-
ly good capacity to
reconstruct events that
happened 50 years ago.
Another psychiatric spe-
cialist told the court that Mr.
Schwammberger is in a posi-
tion to stand trial but that
his appearances in court
should be limited to four
hours a day, with a break
lasting two hours or so.
The experts were called in
response to a request by the
defense to substantiate Mr.
Schwammberger's claim
that he is too physically and
mentally weak to continue.
On several occasions when
a judge pressed him to an-
swer specific question, Mr.
Schwammberger said he
could not go on.
Mr. Schwammberger
stands charged with
atrocities of a particularly
brutal nature, including the
murder of at least 45 persons
and complicity in the
murders of 3,377 people,
most of them Jews, while he
was commandant of several
labor camps in Poland, in-
cluding those at Przemysl,
Mielec and Rozwadow.
Another witness called
last Friday told the court
that he had personally seen
an SS official under Mr.
Schwammberger's command
kill several ailing in-
dividuals. The witness, a 63-
year-old rabbi, said he was
once personally badly beaten
by Mr. Schwammberger and
then tortured by other offi-
cials at the camp.
The rabbi told the court
that other inmates had been
present when Mr. Schwam-
mberger killed a rabbi nam-
ed Fraenkel in Rozwadow on
Yom Kippur of 1942.
In July, an Israeli witness
swore he saw Mr. Schwam-
mberger shoot concentration
camp inmates to death on
three occasions at the Roz-
wadow camp, which was
near Krakow.
In previous court ap-
pearances, Mr. Schwamm-
berger has denied personal
involvement in the killings,
saying he had killed only
one individual in his lifetime
and that had been in self-
defense.
He also said he remembers
nothing that happened in
the Rozwadow camp, and
claimed he could not re-
member any involvement in
beating or torturing in-
mates.
The trial of Mr. Schwam-
mberger began June 26. He
was arrested by French au-
thorities in 1945 qnd im-
prisoned in his native
Austria, but later escaped.
He was tracked down in
Argentina in November
1987, where he had lived
since 1948, working in a
civil service job under his
own name. He was
extradited last year.
