An appeal to Jews throughout the world to join in an international effort to persuade West Germany to extend the statute of limitations on Nazi war criminals has been issued by the Jewish Cultural and Social Association in Poland, it was reported here today from Warsaw.
The association pointed out in its appeal that the Polish Government has declared the statute of limitations, which expires in West Germany in May 1965, does not apply to Nazi war crimes and acts of genocide. The association also urged all Jewish organizations and individual Jews to help bring to book Nazi war criminals who have succeeded in escaping trial until now.
