The Attorney General of Munich has decided to call on all survivors from the Dachau and Essen concentration camps to testify, in order to assemble evidence concerning all those who might possibly be responsible for murders committed in these two camps, it was learned here today Some of the Nazi personnel of the camps, who might be guilty of mass murders, have never been brought to trial.

The offices of the Attorney General have approached the “Committee international Des Camps” (CIC), asking this international organization of concentration camp survivors to cooperate with the request. The secretariate of CIC responded by forwarding to the Munich offices the addresses of those Dachau survivors who were known to this body. The CIC appealed to all Dachau survivors throughout the world to forward their addresses to this body which, in turn, would forward them immediately to the Munich office.
