Whatever as he heard the verdict. After requesting him to sit down. Justice Landau started reading the 300-page judgment. Later, that task was shared by the two other jurists on the court. Judge Yitz¬ hak Raveh and Judge Binyamin Halevl.
"The charges of unsurpassed severity, ascribed to the accused," stated the judgment, "refer to the period of Hitler's regime in Ger¬ many, and paragraphs in the in¬ dictment encompass the catastro¬ phe which befell the Jewish peo¬ ple during that period — a story of bloodshed and suffering that will be well remembered to the end of time. The catastrophe has been discussed in court proceed¬ ings, dealt with extensively at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and elsewhere. But, this time, it occupied the central place In these court proceedings.
"There was a desire — under¬ standable in itself — to give a comprehensive and precise his¬ torical description of events that occurred during the catastrophe and, in so doing, emphasize also the unbelievable feats of heroism performed by ghetto fighters, those who mutinied In camps, and by Jewish partisans,
"There ore also those who re gard this trial as a platform for clarification of questions of great import, some of which arose from the catastrophe while others, of long standing, have emerged once again In more acute form because of unprecedented sufferings that were visited upon the Jewish peo-
Chief Rumanian Rabbi Is Guest Lecturer At Beth Jacob Sunday
Rabbi David Stavsky announced that in conjunction with a special tour sponsored by Yeshiva Uni¬ versity, Rabbi Dr, Moses Rosen, Chief Rabbi of Rumania, will be the guest lecturer at a special open forum on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 8:30 p.m, at the synagogue.
Dr. Rosen, Chief Rabbi of Rou- manla since 1948, arrived In the United States on Nov, 26, to serve as Visiting Professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University,
Dr. Rosen, who will remain in this country for ten weeks, will lecture to a select group of schol¬ ars and rabbis vwjrking toward graduate degrees in higher Jewish studies at the University's Ber¬ nard Revel Graduate School. He is also expected to deliver a series of lectures on contemporary Jew¬ ish history for the public.
Bom In Movinesht in 1912, Rabbi Rosen is the scion of a disting¬ uished Rumanian rabbinic family. His father, the late Rabbi Abra¬ ham Rosen, served as Rabbi In Falteshen for more than 50 years, and his brother was JFtabbl of [qontlnuad  on  piga 4)
pie and upon the world as a whole in the middle of the Twentieth Century."
Justice Landau then posed some pertinent questions. Two of the questions he asked were: "Could the Nazis have carried out their evil designs wdthout the help given them by other peoples in whose midst the Jews dwelt?" "What is the lesson which Jews and other nations must learn from all this in regard to every man's relation¬ ship   to   others?"
The court then cited its authori¬ ty in this case, poihting to the Israel law of 1955 authorizing the trial and punishment, upon convic¬ tion, of Nazis and their collabor¬ ators. The defense had, at the be¬ ginning of the trial last April, questioned the court's jurisdiction. This point is fully expected now to form the basis for an appeal from the court's findipgs to Is¬ rael's  Supreme  Court.
Judge Halevl, taking up the reading Of the judgment at this point, stated that the 1955 law had given "expression to the his¬ toric change In the political sltua,- tion of the Jewish people who, having the gfreatest and gravest account against the Nazis, had no political status for trying Nazi criminals until the establishment of the State of Israel."
In regard to Israel's "unequi¬ vocal" law, sold Judge Halevl, numerous legal airthorltles have shown that "Isn.el Is mindful to accord with the principles of in¬ ternational   law."   The    crimes
