More than 500 Jews living in the Russian sector of this city attended a meeting last night in the community synagogue called to protest against the acquittal by a German court in Hamburg of Veit Harlan, former Nazi film director who produced the notorious anti-Semitic motion picture, "Jew Suess."
Julius Meyer, head of the Jewish community here, told the gathering that "Jewish survivors unhesitatingly declare that Karian was as guilty as Hitler and Goebbels insofar as he was an intellectual originator of millions of murders." Meyer revealed that a petition was now being circulated to be presented to the military governors of Berlin, urging that "people like Harlan be handed over to the Israeli Government for judgment."
