Efforts in Germany to close the site of the Dachau concentration camp, now a museum of Nazi brutality, were vigorously protested here today by the French National Association of Deportees, Members of the Resistance and Patriots.

In a letter to French Premier Edgar Faure, the association declared; “In the name of former deportees, in the name of families exterminated in Hitler Germany, we ask the French Government to use all its authority to intercede with the Federal Republic of Western Germany to maintain the existence of the camp at Dachau as evidence of the monstrous crimes committed by the Nazis.”
