The World Jewish Congress in New York has issued an appeal to Nazi victims to come forward with information concerning a number of Nazis about to be tried in West Germany. Information is wanted concerning:

1. All Nazis responsible-for the annihilation and deportation of the Jews in Lublin, Poland and districts; 2. SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Martin Fellenz who was chief of staff of the Cracow Police Chief Julian Schorner; 3. All Gestapo Jewish “experts” in Cracow and all Nazi officials responsible for mass murders in Starachowice.

SS-Sturmbannfuehrer Fellenz organized and headed deportations in many places including Tarnow, Przemysl, Rzeszow, Miechow, and in Michailowice. Witnesses who were at the last mentioned camp are particularly sought. Nazi victims who are in the position to give testimony are requested to contact the World Jewish Congress.
