There are some 1,600 German war criminals in Polish jails awaiting trial before Peoples Courts, it was learned here today.
Among the criminals are: Gen. Jurgen Stroop, who commanded the Nazi troops in the battle of the Warsaw ghetto, and who has already been sentenced to death by an American military court for ordering the murder of American airmen; Albert Foerster, fomer gauleiter of Danzig, who is charged with the murder of hundreds of Jews in the Oswiecim death camp; and Joseph Buehler, assistant to Hans Frank, ex-Protector of Poland, who was hanged following his conviction at the Nuremberg trial.
Delegates representing 12,000 Jewish survivors of Warsaw held a two-day conference here during which they decided to publish a volume dedicated to the victims of Nazism. It was revealed that the survivors are scattered throughout 40 Polish cities and towns, mostly in Lower Silesia and Lodz. They also voted to send thanks to overseas groups of Polish Jews for the aid sent them during recent years. A similar parley of delegates of 1,000 survivors of Lublin’s pre-war Jewish population of 35,000 was held in Wroclaw (Breslau.)
