A victim of Nazi persecution and concentration camp inmate returned to this country today for treatment at the Bad Nauheim spa and collapsed and died of a heart attack when he alighted from the plane which brought him from Israel.
He was Baruch Hermanowicz, 45, who founded and edited the first post-war Yiddish paper in Germany. Hermanowicz emigrated to Israel in 1948 and became an official of the Ministry of Communications. He had to retire because of ill health and came to Germany for treatment under the recent regulation of the Indemnification Law providing for treatment for those crippled by Nazi persecution. He is survived by his widow and two children.
