Former Nazi Arrested
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) MUNICH, Jan. 13.
Police have arrested the former Nazi who allegedly sent Anne Frank to the gas chamber.
He is Wilhelm Harster, who has been questioned by special prosecutors. It was the Nazi Security Police, headed by Harster—not the Gestapo—which sent the author of “The Diary of Anne Frank” to her death at Auschwitz.
Harster, aged 61, was arrested on suspicion of complicity in the murder of 83,00 persons. He is also suspected of complicity in the attempted murder of 317 persons.
Arrested with him were Wilhelm Zoepf, aged 57, an adviser to the Nazi Security Police on Jewish matters, who is suspected of aiding and abetting 94,328 cases of murder; and Gertrud Slottke, aged 63, also an expert on Jewish matters in Holland, who is suspected of aiding and abetting in 93,328 cases of murder.
