Deported From U.S.,
r Nazi In Australia
N
Sydney, Australia (JTA) —
Konrad Kalejs, an
Australian citizen who was
deported from the United
States for failing to disclose
his wartime activities in
Nazi-occupied Latvia,
received a low-key govern-
ment reaction upon his ar-
rival here this week.
In most respects, the 80-
year-old Mr. Kalejs was
treated as an ordinary
citizen re-entering
Australia, despite calls by
the Australian Jewish com-
munity for an urgent in-
vestigation of charges
against him.
The Executive Council of
Australian Jewry wrote to
the government arguing
that "there is a compelling
case" to "consider all
remedies available" if
grounds are found to pros-
ecute Mr. Kalejs in this
country.
Australian Attorney Gen-
eral Michael Lavarch said
the federal police would re-
view the case, which first
came before Australian in-
vestigators eight years ago.
And Brian Swift, the police
media liaison, confirmed
that the police were assess-
ing whether there are
grounds to reopen the case.
Robert Greenwood, the
first head of Australia's Spe-
cial Investigations Unit,
who had conducted the
earlier Australian inquiry,
said the Kalejs case had not
been fully examined in the
past and would be "of great
interest now."
Mr. Kalejs' case was
litigated by the U.S. Justice
Department's Office of Spe-
cial Investigations and car-
ried out by the U.S. Im-
migration and Naturaliza-
tion Service.
Eli Rosenbaum, acting di-
rector of the OSI, said, "We
have shared all of our
evidence with the
Australian authorities."
Mr. Kalejs immigrated to
Australia from Germany
after World War II and
became a naturalized
Australian citizen in the
1950s. He immigrated to the
United States in 1959 and
omitted any reference to his
wartime membership in the
Arajs Kommando.

Admitted SS Guard
Leaves The U.S.
New York (JTA)— Mathias De-
nuel, a resident of Naples, Fla.,
who admitted to serving during
World War II as an SS guard at
a division of the Mauthausen con-
centration camp, has perma-
nently departed the United
N
States.
The Justice Department an-
nounced that Mr. Denuel, 74, a
German citizen who did not take
U.S. citizenship, left the United
States last week from Miami In-
ternational Airport for Germany,
where he will reside.
Mr. Denuel admitted to feder-
al authorities that he was legal-
ly deportable. He signed an
agreement with the department's
Office of Special Investigations,
the Nazi-prosecutions unit,
promising to leave the United
States .
In the agreement, Mr. Denuel
admitted that from July 1943 un-
til May 1945 he was a member of
the Waffen SS, which acted un-
der the direction of the German
( Th Nazi government.
7—\ OSI initiated deportation pro-
ceedings against Mr. Denuel last
August.
Mr. Denuel, an ethnic German
born in Romania in 1920, ac-
quired German citizenship in
1953, then immigrated to the
United States two years later.
He was a tailor in Philadelphia
until he retired. He came to the
United States in 1955 under the
Refugee Relief Act, and did not
list his wartime activities when
he applied for his visa.
During World War II, Mr. De-
nuel was a member of the SS
Death's Head Battalion, guard-
ing prisoners at the Gusen con-
centration camp, the largest
subdivision of Mauthausen, in
Austria, then considered part of
Germany.
He also admitted to guarding
a transport of prisoners en route
from a concentration camp in
southern Poland to Mauthausen.
According to OSI, abundant
evidence exists about atrocities
committed against thousands of
civilians at Gusen.
Some 48 Nazi persecutors have
been stripped of their U.S. citi-
zenship and 42 have been re-
moved from the United States
since OSI was created in 1979.
