The Belgian Government has doomed two Gestapo leaders responsible for the murder and mistreatment of 30,000 Belgian Jews in the Malines concentration camp, it was announced today. The two are a Dr. Kroll, who is reported to have been responsible for the organization of the Lodz ghetto in Poland, and a Major Schmidt.
Kroll is charged with robbing Jewish internees who passed through Malines en route to Poland-and of attacking Jewish girl deportees. Schmidt, according to the Belgian statement, used Jews as targets for pistol practice and inflicted numerous indignities on his prisoners.
