 Solomon
Morel, faces charges of crimes against humanity in
relation to more than 1,500 inmates at a camp in
southern
Poland.
 Monday, January 3, 2005 Elderly Jewish
man accused of postwar revenge rampage By Inigo Gilmore in Jerusalem
and Michael Leidig in Vienna POLAND is demanding the
extradition from Israel of an elderly Jewish man
accused of the deaths of hundreds of Germans in a
postwar detention camp. Solomon Morel, 86, faces charges of
crimes against humanity in relation to more than
1,500 inmates at a camp in southern Poland, many of
whom perished in "barbaric" circumstances. The investigation is the first in Poland into a
Jew accused of retaliating against the Germans, and
poses potentially awkward questions for Israel
about its attitude towards those allegedly involved
in revenge killings. Israeli officials
turned down a previous extradition request six
years ago. Morel, who fled to
Israel from Poland in 1994 and lives in hiding
in Tel Aviv, was held in Auschwitz as a young
man. More than 30 members of his family were
killed by the Nazis. In November 1945, after the Soviet occupation of
Poland began, he was one of many Jews appointed by
Stalin to supervise the brutal denazification
camps, where up to 80,000 ethnic Germans are
believed to have died as a result of torture,
starvation and typhus. Stalin picked Jews as camp
commandants knowing they would show little mercy to
the inmates.  According
to John Sack, (right, a guest speaker at
Real History, Cincinnati) the late author of
An Eye for An Eye: The Untold Story of Jewish
Revenge Against Germans in 1945, Morel made his
desire for revenge clear from the day the camp at
Swietochlowice opened.
In a television interview before his death last
year, Sack said: "On the first night at Swietochlowice,
when the first contingent of Germans arrived, at
about 10 o'clock at night he walked into one of
the barracks and he said to the Germans, 'My
name is Morel. I am a Jew. My mother and father,
my family, I think they're all dead, and I swore
that if I got out alive, I was going to get back
at you Nazis. And now you're going to pay for
what you did.' " In his book, Sack, himself a Jew, describes in
detail the alleged atrocities committed at the
camp: "The guards put the Germans into a doghouse,
beating them if they didn't say 'bow-wow'. They got
the Germans to beat each other; to jump on each
other's spines and to punch each other's noses, and
hit the Germans so hard that they once knocked a
German's glass eye out." Guards also raped German women and trained dogs
to bite off German men's genitals on command, Sack
said. The Israeli Justice Ministry said it was "in the
process of examining" the extradition
request.
