PRESIDING JUDGE MUSMANNO: But that still does not in any way take away

from what he said on 3 January 1946.

MR. HEATH: I agree, sir, with you.

PRESIDING JUDGE MUSMANNO: That is the testimony of that day, and it still

stands now as he gives this explanation and the Tribunal sees no difference between

what he said then and what he said today, namely, that this estimate of ninety

thousand is based upon the report which he personally saw.

MR. HEATH: Alright, sir.

DEFENDANT OHLENDORF: With what was just read by the presiding judge of my

affidavit of 3 January 1946 I agree completely.

PRESIDING JUDGE MUSMANNO: Yes.

DEFENDANT OHLENDORF: Anything else which I have said on direct

examination is merely a commentary to the testimony of 3 January 1946.

PRESIDING JUDGE MUSMANNO: Very well.

MR. HEATH: Very well, sir. Mr. Ohlendorf, I had begun to ask you about the

Karaims [Karaites] and the Krimchaks, I think you called them. I understood that you

were confronted in the south of Russia with the question further to slaughter

Krimchaks. Krimchaks I understood were human beings who had come by way of

Italy to Russia, and they had Jewish blood. The directive which you got from Berlin

was to kill the Krimchaks, is that correct?

DEFENDANT OHLENDORF: Yes.

Q. Now, I cannot pronounce it correctly, the Karaims were another sect whom you

encountered in the south of Russia, and this sect had no Jewish blood, but it did share

the religious confessions of the Jews. Is that right?

A. Yes.

Q. You submitted to Berlin the question whether the Karaims should be killed, and I

understood you to say that the order you got from Berlin was you shall not kill them

for they have nothing in common with the Jews except the confession?

A. Yes.

Q. Now during your direct examination you told this Court that you had no idea, and

that you have no cause today to think that there was any plan to exterminate the

Jewish race in existence, nor that you had any information of putting it into effect. Is

that right?

A. Yes.

Q. Will you explain to the Court, please, what difference there was between the

Karaims and the Krimchaks, except Jewish blood?

A. I understand your question completely in reference to the eastern Jews, in the case

of the Jews who were found in the eastern campaign. These Jews were to be killed --

according to the order -- for the reason that they were considered carriers of

bolshevism, and, therefore, considered as endangering the security of the German

Reich. This concerned the Jews who were found in Russia, and it was not known to

me that the Jews in all of Europe were being killed, but on the contrary I knew that

down to my dismissal these Jews were not killed, but it was attempted at all costs to

get them to emigrate. The fact that the Karaims were not killed showed that the charge

of the prosecution that persons were persecuted for their religion is not correct, for the

Karaims had that Jewish religion, but they could not be killed because they did not

belong to the Jewish race.

Q. I think, Witness, you answered exactly what I had anticipated in the last sentence,

"They did not belong to the Jewish Race," is that right?
