TF.L AVIV (JI A)— Leopold
(Leib) Irepper, conductor of the
famous “Red Orchestra”—the
Soviet-backed Communist
intelligence network which
operated under the noses of the
Nazis during World War 11 and
which Nazi intelligence officials
said was responsible for the deaths
of over 200,000 German soldiers—
died Jan. 19 in Jerusalem at the
age of 77. Funeral services were
held Jan. 20.
It was Trepper’s spy ring,
dubbed by the Nazis as the “Red
Orchestra,” which reportedly
warned the Kremlin of Hitler’s
plan to invade the Soviet Union.
The “Red Orchestra" of nearly
J00 agents, including a large
number of Jews, was active
throughout France, Germany,
Holland and Belgium. Only 77 of
its members survived the war. The
“Orchestra” was broken when
Trepper was betrayed and arrested
by the Gestapo. He escaped and
became active in the French
resistance movement until the
liberation of Paris. On his return to
the Soviet Union after the war, he
was arrested and kept in prison
until Stalin’s death in 1953.
Trepper was born in Poland
where, orphaned at a young age, he
became a labor organizer as well as
a leader of the Socialist-Zionist
Hashomer Hatzair. Harassed by
the authorities for his activities, he
emigrated to Palestine at the age of
20, became a member of the
Palestine Communist Party and
was imprisoned by the British
Mandatory authorities.
Upon his release and expulsion
from Palestine, Trepper went to
Europe and then to the Soviet
Union where he was trained at a
military espionage school. After
completing his training he was sent
to Paris in the late 1930s with
instructions to establish a spy
network in preparation for the
coming year
When Trepper was finally
released from a Moscow prison
(Trepper’s family believed he was
dead) he returned to Poland, but
with the rise of anti-Semitism there
he began a long struggle for
permission to emigrate to Israel.
He was finally allowed to leave in
1974 and joined his family in
Jerusalem.
✓ Ex-Yale prof a Nazi? \
WASHINGTON (JTA)-The Justice Department has filed a
complaint in U S. District Court in New Haven, Conn., in a move
to revoke the citizenship of a former Yale University lecturer
because of his alleged participation in Nazi war crimes and because
he withheld his Nazi background from American authorities when
he entered the U S. in 1951 and when he obtained his citizenship in
1957.
The Department of Justice charged that Vladimir Sokolov, 68,
ol Milford, Conn., was a Nazi propagandist who advocated the
annihilation of all Jews and called for the conquest of the United
States and imposition of Nazi rule throughout the world.
