Three Poles, convicted of annihilating Jews in camps and in ghettos during the Nazi occupation of Poland, were sentenced to death by a Polish court, according to a report in the Warsaw press reaching here.
The three–Sergei Bobko, Alexander Veronik and Alexander Leusch–were found guilty of participating in the “liquidation” of Jews in Baranovice, of “liquidating” the ghettos of Nieswicz, Herodiscza and other towns, and killing the entire Jewish population of Stolowicz. Their trial lasted about two weeks during which many Jews and non-Jews appeared as witnesses. Depositions were also read from former Polish Jews now in the Soviet Union and in Israel.
