An appeal to all governments of the world to help bring former Nazis to justice was issued here today by the International Auschwitz Committee, which concluded a two-day conference at which 100 delegates represented death camp survivors from 14 countries.
The appeal requested that no government give asylum to ex-Nazi war criminals, aid in their apprehension, and amend statutes of limitation so that no former Nazi criminal would go free even if his crime had gone undiscovered for a number of years. West Germany was one of the countries to whom the appeal was addressed.
