On German Theater,
Play On Criminal
Bonn (JTA) — At one time he
thought of getting a pistol and
shooting Anton Malloth in re-
venge for killing his grandfather.
Instead he sat down and wrote a
book.
German Jewish writer Peter
Finkelgruen's book, House Ger-
many, has since been dramatized
and is currently appearing to full
houses at a theater in the west-
ern German city of Dusseldorf.
With the staging of the play,
Handsome Tony, the 52-year-old
Mr. Finkelgruen now hopes the
former Nazi who killed his grand-
father in Theresienstadt will fi-
nally be brought to justice.
The play by Israeli playwright
Yehoshua Sobol tells the story of
Malloth, 81, a former SS officer
currently living in an old-age
home with all his expenses paid
for by the German government.
Malloth — known as "Hand-
some Tony" because of his devo-
tion to spotless, neatly ironed SS
uniforms — was sentenced to
death in 1949 by a Czech court
for having killed prisoners trying
to escape from the Theresienstadt
concentration camp in the former
Czechoslovakia during World
War II.
In addition, according to eye-
witness accounts, Malloth
clubbed to death Mr. Finkelgru-
en's grandfather, Martin, a Ger-
man Jew, on the street in broad
daylight on Dec. 22, 1942, the day
he was brought to the Gestapo
prison in Theresienstadt.
Malloth, who had fled Prague
in 1945, was sentenced by the
Czech court when he and his wife
were trying to build a new life in
Italy.
Malloth, who had grown up in
northern Italy, was stripped of
his Italian citizenship in 1956 be-
cause of his war record, but ap-
parently went back to live there
after first obtaining West Ger-
man citizenship.
In 1983, Nazi-hunter Simon
Wiesenthal located Malloth in the
northern Italian town of Merano,
where many Nazi officials had
found refuge. Six years later, the
Italian authorities deported Mal-
loth to Germany.
The Germans arrested and in-
terrogated him, and then re-
leased him, claiming insufficient
evidence against him. Despite the
witnesses to Malloth's crimes, the
German courts disregarded the
Czech court's verdict, saying it
had been based on indirect
hearsay evidence.
As a German citizen, the au-
thorities said, Malloth was enti-
tled to retirement benefits so he
was sent to an old-age home in
Munich with all expenses paid.
It is possible that no one would
have bothered the man in his old
age if Mr. Finkelgruen had not
learned about Malloth from a rel-
ative.
Mr. Finkelgruen, returning to .
Germany in 1989 after working
for seven years as a radio corre-
spondent in Israel, was planning
to write a book reconstructing the
odyssey of his parents from
Prague to Shanghai on the eve of
World War II.
"At my first stop in Prague, I
met an old aunt, who had told me
for the first time how my grand-
father was beaten to death in
Theresienstadt," said Mr. Finkel-
gruen.
He soon forgot about the fam-
ily trip to Shanghai and began in-
vestigating the fate of his
grandfather's murderer.
He became infuriated when he
learned that German authorities
had not taken legal measures
The Germans
arrested and
interrogated him,
and then released
him.
against Malloth. He was con-
vinced that Malloth's story was
a part of the German establish-
ment's efforts throughout the
years to protect former Nazis.
According to Hermann Weiss-
ing, a state prosecutor in the
western German city of Hamm,
some 130 former Nazis suspect-
ed of committing war crimes are
still at large in the state of North
Rhine-Westphalia alone because
of insufficient evidence against
them.
But Mr. Finkelgruen's book
and the play on which it is based
may soon have an affect after all.
Last week, Mr. Weissing said
in an interview that an unnamed
witness from Austria contacted
the police saying he would sup-
ply them with sufficient infor-
mation to incriminate Malloth.
The prosecution is now exam-
ining the case. Based on its find-
ings, it will decide whether to
press charges against Malloth.
