The chairman of the local Jewish community, Henry Kormind, has asked the West German government to continue prosecuting Nazi war criminals without regard as to when they committed their crimes, Kormind said in his letter that many members of the Danish Jewish community had been in Nazi concentration camps and had lost members of their families in the gas chambers. He said “such crimes cannot be covered by a law providing for statute of limitations and can never be proscribed”. The statute of limitations is due to go into effect in West Germany Jan. I, 1980.
