Trials recall the Holocaust
MILWAUKEE - The deportation trials of two suspected Nazi concentration camp guards opened old wounds for Holocaust survivors and served as a poignant lesson for the children of Germans and Jews in this ethic minded city.
Braumann's two day trial ended
Jan. 4. Final submission of post-trial
documents was set for tomorrow,
and documentation expected before the end of Feb. 5.
The men, both Yugoslavian born,
lived and worked in the Milwaukee
area for years before their arrests.
Immigration authorities have not
U. D. State Judge John Reynolds ruled Dec. 14 that Tittjung, a retired marble company worker, had been a victim of unlawful use of mason concentration camp in Austria.
Reynolds stripped Tittung of U.S. citizenship, and the government plans to deport him, although it has not announced when it will do so.
U. S. District Judge Thomas Curran still must decide whether to revoke the citizenship of Baumann, a retired carpenter accused of working as a guard at camps in Stuthof Poland, and Buchenwald Germany.
In 1989, federal prosecutors alleged that two suburban Milwaukee men, Anton Tittjung, 66, and Anton Baumann, 79, disguised their previous roles as concentration camp guards in the United States after World War II.

ISN'T IT TIME YOU LISTENED TO YOUR LENSES?
One former Nazi to be deported; other awaits judgment
"These trials have made history alive," said Mordecal Lee, executive director of the Milwaukee Jewish Council. "They have made World War II the Holocaust immediate and personal rather than remote and abstract."
In gripping testimony at Bamnain's trial, Holocaust survivor Sam Israeliki, who lives in New York City, recalled how he and several other prisoners were harassed while they fled to a forest outside the Stutthof camp.
Guards drew a line in the ground and warned the prisoners they would be considered escapes and shot it they crossed the line. Israelski said One guard then threw a shovel over the line, ordered a prisoner to throw it and then she shot the prisoner when he crossed the line. Israelski recounted.
The heavily publicized trials evoked painful memories but may also have helped to enrich relations between Jews and Germans by educating younger generations about the Holocaust, community leaders said.
Survivors of the Holocaust traveled from as far as Poland and France to testify about the harassment, torture and killing at the concentration camps, where most Jews were gassed. The Holocaust was Nazi's systematic destruction of six million Jews before and during World War II.
Defense lawyers characterized state's evidence at both trials as inadequate. They argued that guard rosters did not prove the men were camp guards and that the government failed to prove that the defendants misrepresented their past lives.

Charles Kahn, a German who serves with Pedersen on the Milwaukee Ethnic Council, which represents the city's largest ethnic groups, said he would be medical to those wishing to remind young people about the Holocaust.
"The trials served as a very important educational tool," he said. "Were it not for the occasional event such as this, the world may forget — or could forget — the lessons that we learned
The trials apparently produced no public acrimony between Milwaukee's Jews and Germans, who, in addition to Milwaukee's Poles, constitute the city's primary ethnic groups.
Sandy Holm, who heads the Generation After, a group of children of Holocaust survivors in Milwaukee, agreed.

Since the trials, her group has been giving talks at schools so those born after the Holocaust will understand what took place at the camps.
"While wounds might be opened by renewed interest in the subject, it would be more frightening not to know about it," Hoffman said.
