The report, completed in
1987 but released only last
week, led to the banning of
Mr. Waldheim from the
United States by the Bush
administration.
It details that "Waldheim
assisted or otherwise par-
ticipated in persecution be-
cause of race, religion, na-
tional origin or political opi-
nion."
It is not known why the
Bush administration kept
the report from the public
eye. The report, written by
Neal Sher, who recently re-
signed as director of the
Justice Department's Office
of Special Investigations,
was made public after the
World Jewish Congress filed
a request for it under the
Freedom of Information Act.
According to a Justice
Department spokesman, At-
torney General Janet Reno
eased the act's restrictions
last fall, thereby allowing
documents such as this
report to be released.
In 1986, while Mr.
Waldheim ran for president
of Austria, the WJC launch-
ed an inquiry into his war-
time activities with the
Germany army, or
Wehrmacht, in the Balkans
during World War II.
He was elected president
in June of that year.
The report states that in
memoranda contesting the
attempt to bar him from the
United States, Mr.
Waldheim "offered explana-
tions of historical events
which are so completely in-
consistent with document
facts as to smack at rank
distortion."
Mr. Waldheim failed to
rebut the case against him
or otherwise demonstrate
that he did not engage in ac-
tivities he is accused of par-
ticipating in, the report said.
The WJC has long sought
that the report be made
public so that the story of
Mr. Waldheim, who served
as the United Nations top of-
ficial from 1972 to 1982,
would be known.
Israel Singer, WJC secre-
tary-general, said he was

Kurt Waldheim:
Should he have served?

pleased that the Justice
Department made the report
available to the public.
"The report confirms that
this man should never have
served as secretary-general
to the United Nations," Mr.
Singer said.
"Waldheim lies about the
most horrendous event in

world history."

The report states that, as a
lieutenant for the German
army between 1942 and
1945, Waldheim was in-
volved in the deportation
and deaths of nearly 3,000
Greek Jews.
He also played a part in
the transfer of civilian
prisoners to the SS for use as
slave labor, the mass depor-
tation of civilians to concen-
tration and death camps, the
utilization of anti-Semitic
propaganda and the
mistreatment and execution
of Allied prisoners.
Much of Mr. Waldheim's
wartime involvement has
been known for several
years. The 204-page report
confirms an important
disclosure made only recent-
ly in a book by Eli Rosen-
baum, former legal counsel

at the WJC.

In his book, titled Betrayal
and published last year,
Rosenbaum provides
evidence linking Mr.
Waldheim to an incident in
Bosnia daring which Jews,
Serbs and others were
deported to concentration
camps.
The book, which Mr.
Rosenbaum researched us-
ing accessible Justice
Department documents,
states that the people sent to
Nazi camps from Bosnia
numbered nearly 70,000, in-
cluding 23,000 children.
