Kovner said he had a secret meeting with Schmidt one night in January, 1942, in a Lithuan- ian village Kovner testified "I asked him about local Ges- tapo commanders.

Those who could not be regis- tered were sent away by the family to hide in the woods. Dvorski"s testimony came as the prosecution took up the ac- tivities of the "'einsatzgruppen," the Nazi operational groups as- signed to kill Jews in the rear of advancing German troops during the campaign against Russia. "My wife and I had no chil dren," Dvorski said. "We were allowed to save two children. So I registered my sister as my child. We had to make her look much younger. Then there was a boy who asked 'who wants to be my father?' We registered him as our second child."
