NAZI CRIME TRIAL VERDICTS
The biggest postwar Nazi crimes trial—that of the 22 former
guards and officials of the infamous Auschwitz death factory —
still has not reached the stage of introduction of testimony from
the survivors but the usual pattern of unbelievable, heart-
wrenching atrocities typical of the trials is already evident.
How could human beings do such things to other human
beings? This question must haunt humankind forever.
But there is a more practical issue in these trials and that
is the question of punishment. In a sense which is beyond de-
bate, there literally cannot be punishment for these monsters
which is in any conceivable way commensurate with crimes of
such awful dimensions. What punishment can be meted out to
a human being who spent his working hours for one, two or
four years thrusting children into a contrivance in which their
little lives were suffered out by poison gas and their limp bodies
then tossed into roaring furnaces to be consumed?
Surely, any pation which harbored such brutes has as its
most elementary duty their swift removal from society. Prompt
and permanent incarceration would seem to be both the least
and the most that could be done- Surely, these barbarians
should not be allowed to continue as presumably .respected citi-
zens — a procedure which surely supports their obvious con-
victions that they were simply following orders of superiors, as
patriotic citizens must in wartime and in peace.
If there is merit in this argument, then the trifling sen-
tences which have consistently been handed down by the West
German jury courts trying these former Nazi make a mockery
of everything that is meant by the term justice.
Perhaps the spelling out again of the abominations com-
mited in a camp where between three and four million hapless
victims were slaughtered — most of them Jews, thousands of
them children—may have some value for a Germany which still
harbors anti-Semites and umrepententant Nazis. If the Azzises
court in Frankfort follows the pattern of preceding trials and
pronounces sentences which amount to a desecration of the me-
mory of the murdered innocents, that is about all the value this
trial will have.

United Nations

Mr. CalvotrO.ressi, Boris S. Iva-
nov, of the Soviet Union, and
Wojciech Ketrzynski of Poland,
fought to the very end against
adoption of the Krishaswami
text. They were supported—as
they had been throughout the
long debates on this issue—by
procedural rulings handed down
by Herman Santa Cruz, of Chile,
chairman of the subcommission.
The documents will go to the
subcommission’s parent body,
the Commission on Human
Rights, which is scheduled to
convene Feb. 17 for a month.
The religious item is second on
the full commission’s provision-
al agenda, first place being giv-
en to a previously adopted
Convention for the Elimination
of All Forms of Racial Intoler-
ance.
Two years ago, the Commun-
ist bloc, in the United Nations
succeeded in putting through
resolutions in the General As-
sembly, separating racial bias
from religious intolerance. Since
that move, the Communists have
been using every parliamentary
device possible to keep a reli-
gious - freedom document from
even being debated.
It was expected that the full
Human Rights Commission will
adopt the draft or—even possi-
bly—oven make it more liberal.
From the Commission, the docu-
ment will go to the Economic
and Social Council and, finally,
to the General Assembly. Thus
it will take at least two years
before the instrument can be-
come international law. How-
ever, most members of the sub-
commission hailed Dr. Krishnas-
wami and his chief supporters,
including Mr. Abram and Mr.
Calvocoressi.
Throughout the debate on re-
ligious freedom in the last two
years, culminated by the dis-
cussion at this year’s subcom-
mission session worldwide Jew-
ish organizations, as well as Is-
rael thru an official observer as-
signed to the UN subcommission,
have been insisting on the adop-
tion of precisely the kind of
document that finally emerged.
Jewish organizations, including
those from Israel, and other
champions of religious free-
doms have constantly voiced
sharp criticisms during these
debates against officially con-
doned anti - Semitism in the
Soviet Union—without mention-
ing the USSR by name.

“Wnen f first arrived at
Auschwitz,” he testified, “I was
an eyewitness, to injection kill-
ings of many inmates in the
hospital block. However, they
were not killed by SS men but
by one of the inmate assistants,
Peter Bock, who was the block
elder. Presiding Judge Hans
Hofmeyer asked: “What were
you doing at the time?” Klehr
replied that he watched the as-
sistant. “I didn’t want to have
anything to do with it but about
two months after I arrived, I
was ordered to give the injec-
tions myself. The SS doctor told
me either I would give the in-
jections o,r he would have me
shot at the black wall. I did
as I was told.’’
His admission that he had
killed more than 250 inmates
by such injections in two
months fell far short of charges
against him. He is accused of
murdering that many inmates
on Christmas Eve, 1942 alone.
Another defendant, Dr. Vik-
tor Capesius, 56, a prosperous
pharmacist, claimed he was
drafted into the Nazi SS from
the Rumanian Army and denied
all charges against him. He is
accused of having selected pri-
soners for the camp’s gas cham-
bers, of sending 1,200 children
to their death, of ordering the
phenolic acid with which thou-
sands of inmates were injected
and killed and with giving two
prisoners a lethal mixture of
coffee and drugs.
S. ISRAEL BROTHERHOOD
“COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS”
BROTHERHOOD PROGRAM
In observance of National
Brotherhood Week, the Brother-
hood of Congregation Shearith
Israel has arranged an evening
to “Count Your Blessings” in
the Kaplan Auditorium, Sunday,
Feb. 9 at 8 p.m.
Spotlighting the evening will
be a full program of entertain-
ment by entertainers of the Dal-
las night scene, volunteering
their services for the Brother-
hood.
Uppermost in the committee’s
mind is the tight time schedule
of shuttling these entertainers
back to their various night
clubs in time for their regular
show. Maestro Joe Reichman
will be on hand as master of
ceremonies to introduce the var-
ious personalities. Unique as a
program, the Brotherhood has
voted to share all proceeds a-
mong Catholic, Jewish and Pro-
testant charities. The institu-
tions that will be recipients are:
St. Mary of Carmel, St. Augus-
tine Mission and Akiba Aca-<
demy.
The committee has reported
an overwhelming response in
ticket sales which are available
at $1.00 per person from any
member of tlie Brotherhood and
can also be purchased at the
door.
