JERUSALEM (Reuters)—
Gestapo chiel Heinrich Himmler ordered French .lews with
"influential relatives in America" to be kept "alive and
healthy" as possible hostages,
Adolf Eichmann's trial was told
Thursday.
An order from Himmler to
Heinrich Mueller, Eichmann's
immediate superior, for a special selection of such Jews in occupied France was introduced
at Thursday's session of the
court trying Eichmann for complicity in the wartime killing of
6.0(10.000 Jews.
The order staled that such
French Jews "are valuable hostages for us" and added: "I estimate imch cases should total
10,000."
Asked about the order, former
SS Lt. - Col. Eichmann commented: "Mention of the word
'hostages' amply reflects Him-
mler's attitudes."
The burden of Eichmann's
testimony was to lay responsibility for the deportation of
Jews from occupied France on
Himmler and the French police.
