The North Rhine-Westphalia Criminal Bureau in Dusseldorf, West Germany, appealed today to persons who are able to supply evidence to the bureau against former SS leader Otto Kaiser.
Kaiser is accused of participation in the murder of many Jews in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during 1938-1942. The bureau is also seeking information from any persons who were in Bialystock in 1941 and can testify to the burning of a synagogue and the shooting of Jews there.
