The Hamburg State Prosecutor has asked for witnesses to testify against former Nazis who participated in the mass murder of Jews in the concentration camps of Tarawniki and Krasnik in Poland and the forced Nazi labor camp at Lublin Airport in Poland in the spring of 1944. The Prosecutor asked for witnesses who could relate the manner in which the inmates were liquidated. Former members of the SS and the former chief of Nazi police at Lublin will soon face a Hamburg tribunal.
