Alleged Guard
Is Deported

New York (JTA) — Liudas
Kairys, who allegedly served
as a guard at the Treblinka
death camp, was deported
last week to Germany,- en-
ding a 13-year legal battle
against him waged by the
U.S. Justice Department.
Mr. Kairys, 72, who lived
in Chicago, was charged
with lying about his war-
time past when he entered
the United States in 1949
and when he became a U.S.
citizen in 1957.
The Justice Department's
Office of Special Investiga-
tion filed suit against Kairys
in 1980, charging he had
personally assisted in
persecuting Jewish civilians
during World War II from
1943 to 1944.
But his name first became
known publicly in the 1960s,
when it came up during the
West German trial of an-
other former guard in the
Nazi SS, Franz Swidersky.
Testimony against Mr.
Kairys came from other
former SS guards as well.
The Kairys case is one of
the most assiduously
litigated ones in the annals
of U.S. efforts to prosecute
alleged Nazi war criminals.
It went through the U.S.
legal system twice — before
eight courts, including the
U.S. Supreme Court.
Mr. Kairys, who was
originally from Lithuania,
denied the charges against
him. He claimed to have
been a farmer in Lithuania
from 1940 to 1942 and said
he was then captured and
deployed as a forced laborer
in various locations in
Lithuania and Poland.
Although Germany, Mr.
Kairys' destination of
choice, agreed to take him, it
is not known what fate
awaits him there.
Mr. Kairys, who worked
for some 25 years for the
Crackerjack firm, espoused
racist views during his court
appearances.
He wrote a letter charging
that the Jews and the Com-
munists were behind his
troubles. And in a deposition
he referred to his saviors,
black U.S. soldiers, as
"niggers."
During one judicial pro-
ceeding, Mr. Kairys cried
out to a prosecuting at-
torney, "You can't prove
this."
When the attorney said,
"You mean you did it, but
we can't prove it?" Mr.
Kairys replied, "That's
right."
