Bonn (JTA) — The German
Jewish community has
demanded a trial for Gustav
Just, a Social Democratic
member of the Brandenburg
state Parliament who re-
signed March 10 after ad-
mitting complicity in the
murders of six Jews during
the war.
The murders were com-
mitted in the Ukraine in
July 1941, when Mr. Just
was a soldier in the invading
German army.
Heinz Galinski, chairman
of the Jewish community,
challenged the contention by
Brandenburg's justice min-
ister, Hans-Otto
Braeutigam, that Mr. Just
cannot be tried because of
the statute of limitations.
In a radio interview, Mr.
Galinski, a Holocaust sur-
vivor, pointed out that Ger-
many abolished the statute
of limitations for murder
and complicity in murder.
He noted that the German
authorities are still trying to
extradite war criminals liv-
ing abroad in order to put
them on trial.
Mr. Just, 71, resigned
under pressure from his par-
ty after the weekly news-
paper Welt am Sonntag ex-
posed his role in the 50- year-
old crime. The newspaper
obtained the information
from the files of the former
East German Ministry of
State Security, known as the
Stasi.
It kept a dossier on Mr.
Just, who was an East Ger-
man national before the
country's unification last
year.
Meanwhile, the trial of
war criminal Josef
Schwammberger, begun last
year, continues in Stuttgart.
He is accused of killing Jews
at three concentration
camps in Poland where he
served as commandant dur-
ing the war.
The panel of judges will
travel to Miami to take
testimony from an elderly
Jewish survivor who is too
sick to travel to Germany.
French Socialists
Repudiate Letter
Paris (JTA) — The govern-
ing Socialist Party was swift
to repudiate a hate-filled at-
tack on Israel by a low- rank-
ing official.
The party's executive
board urged the quickest
possible removal of Roland
Gabory, a 51-year-old high-
school teacher who sits as a
Socialist deputy in a provin-
cial ,assembly in
southwestern France.
Mr. Gabory is the author of
a letter denouncing Israel as
"a racist, expansionist, fun-
damentalist, parasitic state,
which has monopolized the
land of Palestine in the
name of 4,000-year-old
ridiculous biblical twaddle."
His letter also equated
Israelis with Nazis.
"The inexplicable crimes
perpetrated half a century
ago by those who called
themselves the master race
do not excuse at all the ter-
rorism of those who still
believe they are the Lord's
race," he wrote.
The letter was published
in Sud Ouest (Southwest), a
large circulation provincial
daily, and in the Socialist
weekly, Vendredi (Friday).
Vendredi has apologized
for allowing the letter to ap-
pear. "We regret that such
hatred has been able to slip
into a publication striving to
fight against racism and ex-
clusion," a statement said.
But the editor of Sud Ouest
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the letter drew
no reaction from its readers.
Jean Kahn, chairman of
CRIF, the Representative
Council of French Jewish
Organizations, said he was
"scandalized."
Mr. Kahn said he could not
understand how such views
Jean Kahn,
chairman of CRIF,
the Representative
Council of French
Jewish
Organizations,
was "scandalized:'
could be expressed by an of-
ficial of the Socialist Party
and demanded that
"sanctions" be taken
against him.
The Socialist Party's ex-
ecutive board said it shared
"the legitimate emotion and
indignation triggered by the
scandalous declaration of
Roland Gabory, in total con-
tradiction of the values and
actions of the Socialists."
It urged the relevant party
body to oust Mr. Gabory as
soon as possible.
