Jewish communities and individuals in East Germany will be represented at the trial of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi war criminal who directed the mass killing of 6, 000, 000 Jews in Europe, by Friedrich Kaul, East Germany’s leading Communist lawyer, who left today for Tel Aviv.

The Jewish communities and individuals are seeking to act as secondary plaintiffs at the trial which is due to open in Jerusalem during the second week in April.
