Vandals Desecrate
French Memorial
Paris (JTA) — For the second
time this year, vandals have des-
ecrated plaques commemorating
the seven Jews who were exe-
cuted on the orders of convicted
war criminal Paul Touvier.
Vandals set a fire sometime
last week that charred the memo-
rial on the wall of the Rillieux-la-
Pape cemetery — located near
Lyons, in southeastern France —
where the seven hostages were
executed on June 29, 1944.
The vandals painted the
memorial plaques with
swastikas, Stars of David and
anti-Semitic inscriptions such as
"We won't be the Palestinians of
Europe" and "Jews Beware."
In April, Mr. Touvier, 79, was
found guilty of crimes against hu-
manity for ordering the execu-
tions of the hostages in reprisal
for the murder by the French Re-
sistance of the Vichy propagan-
da minister, Philippe Henriot.
Mr. Touvier was at the time
the local head of the intelligence
service of the militia, the 30,000-
member collaborationist civilian
armed force created by the Vichy
regime.
Mr. Touvier is the only French-
man to be convicted of crimes
against humanity. He was given
the maximum sentence of life im-
prisonment.
Less than a month after Mr.
Touvier was found guilty, the
commemorative plaque at the
Rillieux-la-Pape cemetery was
smashed and thrown into a near-
by field.
On June 28, French Interior
Minister Charles Pasqua un-
veiled three new plaques in mem-
ory of the seven victims.
He lashed out at the time
against the "bad smell of racism
and anti-Semitism and the alle-
gations of those who do not want
to recognize the shameful parts
of our past.
"In the name of the govern-
ment of today, we reaffirm that
what happened under the occu-
pation and the authority of the
so-called 'State of France' (the col-
laborationist Vichy regime) is for-
ever held in contempt in our
memories," Mr. Pasqua said.
No suspects have been charged
in either of the two acts of dese-
cration, and no groups have
claimed responsibility.
The local leaders of the Jewish
community and the Internation-
al League Against Racism and
Anti-Semitism have strongly con-
demned the desecrations.
Costa Rica Won't Act
Against War Criminal
San Jose, Costa Rica (JTA) —
Costa Rican Foreign Minister
Fernando Naranjo has said his
government does not intend to
take unilateral action to expel ac-
cused Nazi war criminal Bohdan
Koziy.
A Ukrainian police official un-
der the Nazis, Mr. Koziy immi-
grated to the United States
following World War II and was
later prosecuted by the U.S. Jus-
tice Department for killing Jews
in the Ukrainian town of Stanis-
law.
He was stripped of his U.S. cit-
izenship in 1982 and surfaced in
Costa Rica in 1984 as the Justice
Department was seeking to de-
port him to the Soviet Union.
In 1983, the German Justice
Ministry, reviewing Nazi docu-
ments, informed the U.S. Justice
Department that Koziy had
"without a doubt" murdered a 4-
year-old girl as she begged for her
life, as well as other members of
her family, whose name was Fis-
cher. Germany did not prose-
cute Mr. Koziy because its statute
on limitations for war crimes had
elapsed.
The Soviet government re-
quested Mr. Koziy's extradition
in 1986, but Costa Rica refused.
A year later, he was ordered ex-
tradited to the Soviet Union by a
Costa Rican court, but the gov-
ernment overruled the court.
In a news conference last
week, the foreign minister said
that while Costa Rica would not
take unilateral action against
Mr.Koziy, the government would
consider an extradition request.
Although he did not specify
which country might seek his ex-
tradition, it would likely be
Ukraine.
Mr. Koziy lives in a modest-
size house in the San Jose sub-
urb of Alajuela, near the local
Jewish community center. In re-
cent months, the Costa Rican
Jewish community has publicized
his presence and sought his ex-
pulsion.
Mr. Koziy has been defended
by the local Catholic archbishop,
Roman Arrieta Villalobos, who
said he had been given informa-
tion "by impartial people" that
Mr. Koziy was innocent of the
charges against him.
