イスラエル司法省は、モレルの追及は「反ユダヤ主義が拡大し始めた頃に」「少数のドイツ人」によって「ユダヤ市民に対して」なされたものだと言い、アウシュビッツでの被害者と言う面を強調する。そして、ナチ敗北後もユダヤ人も何千と殺されているのに犯人は法の裁きから逃れているではないか、と言う。モレルはナチ協力者を含むドイツ人の収容者6000名に暴行、食事を与えない、病気の蔓延を防がないといったことをし、1538名を死亡させた容疑がかけられている。(DPA)

Israel won't extradite Polish Jew accused of post- WWII genocide
By The Associated Press
Israel has refused for a second time to extradite to Poland a Jewish man accused of crimes against German prisoners just after the end of World War II, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Polish prosecutors received the refusal in a letter from the Justice Ministry saying "there was no basis whatsoever to extradite" Solomon Morel, an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor, prosecutor Ewa Koj told The Associated Press.
Morel commanded a communist-run camp for German prisoners in southern Poland in 1945 after Soviet troops occupied the country. Polish authorities accuse him of genocide by seeking to exterminate German prisoners by starving them to death, depriving them of medical care as well as carrying out torture and sanctioning torture by his subordinates.
Polish prosecutors charge that Morel is responsible for the deaths of at least 1,500 prisoners in the Swietochlowice camp.
Koj, a prosecutor with the government-run National Remembrance Institute in Katowice, said the Justice Ministry argued that the statute of limitations against Morel had run out. The institute investigates communist and Nazi-era crimes.
Koj quoted the letter as saying, "In light of the facts, there appears to be no basis to charge Mr. Morel with serious crimes, let alone crimes of `genocide' or `crimes against the Polish nation.' If anything, it would seem to us that Mr. Morel and his family were clearly victims of crimes of genocide committed by the Nazis and the Polish collaborators.
Koj criticized Israel's decision, saying: "How can a statute of limitations run out on crimes against humanity?"
"There should be one measure for judging war criminals, irrespective whether they are German, Israeli or any other nationality," she added.
Israel, which has no extradition treaty with Poland, in 1998 refused an extradition request based on charges of torture; the current request broadened the charges to genocide, for which there is no statute of limitations in Polish law.
Polish historians generally agree that the communist government imprisoned 100,000 Germans, mostly civilians deemed threats to the state after World War II. At least 15,000 died due to ill treatment, and the rest were freed by 1950.
Morel left Poland for Israel in 1994, after accusations against him surfaced.
WARSAW - Israel has refused a Polish request for the extradition of Solomon Morel, 87, alleged to have committed crimes against humanity as the head of a labour camp holding ethnic Germans in Poland's southern Silesian region immediately after World War II, Poland's Rzeczpospolita daily reported Wednesday.
Poland made its second request to Israel for the Israeli citizens extradition on a charge of genocide in April 2004, after an earlier request was refused in 1998.
Justice Minister Andrzej Kalwas said Wednesday Poland would forward no further extradition requests for Morel to Israel.
"Unfortunately I must say that there is no legal chance for this extradition," Kalwas told the Polish PAP news agency.
Poland's Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) war crimes authority suspects Morel is responsible for the death of some 1,538 ethnic Silesians and Germans held at the Swietochlowice concentration camp between February and November 1945.
Morel served as its commander immediately following the defeat of Nazi Germany. Some of the prisoners had Nazi connections.
Eye-witness evidence collected during a lengthy IPN investigation suggested Morel used both psychological and physical torture against the nearly 6,000 inmates at the camp, including beatings and starvation. He is also alleged to have allowed the spread of deadly infectious diseases in the camp.
"There is no basis to accuse Morel of the crime of genocide or crimes against the Polish nation. He and his family are survivors of genocide, the obvious victims of genocide committed by the Nazis and their Polish collaborators," reads an official statement from Israel's Justice Ministry.
Morel fled Poland to Israel in 1992 after Polish justice authorities launched a criminal investigation against him. In 1998, Israel refused to honour an earlier extradition request, also claiming it had not been presented with evidence of Morel's alleged involvement in war crimes.
According to the Rzeczpospolita report, Israel believed that the camp held 60 inmates and emphasises Morel's wartime experience as a Polish Jew targeted for death by Nazi Germany. Morel's parents and siblings did not survive.
Israel also alleged the Polish request was made "against a Jewish citizen" after 1989 by "a few Germans" after 1989 "during a period of growing anti-Semitism".
Israel's Justice Ministry also underscored the fact that "thousands" of Jewish survivors were killed in Poland in the immediate post-war period and claims that many suspects escaped justice.
