Responsibility for the murder of 3,000,000 Jews in Poland was today charged to Hans Frank, former Nazi Governor General of Poland and one of the 21 defendants in the war crimes trial here.
Documentary evidence presented by Soviet prosecutors included Frank’s boastful entry in his diary that “there would not be enough forests in Poland” to supply paper for the lists of Jews and Poles he had slaughtered, if he were to emulate his colleagues in Czechoslovakia, who in one of their lists of exterminated persons carried only seven Jewish names. (For more on Nuremberg trials, see page 4).
