Body cremated to ensure against neo-Nazi memorial FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Genetic tests last year put to rest rumors that Hitler’s secretary had escaped postwar Germany and was | living in exile. Now, German authorities have taken precautions to en sure Martin Bormann’s re mains do not become the focal point of a memorial for neo- Nazis. After consultations with the Bormann family, prosecutors ordered the remains cremated and committed to the Baltic Sea in an area outside territor ial limits, a lawyer for the Bor mann family said yesterday. “It must be guaranteed that no possibility exists around which to establish any sort of memorial,” Florian Besold, a Munich attorney, said. The handling of Bormann’s remains is consistent with that of other deceased Nazis. The cremated remains of 10 Nazis executed on convictions at the Nuremberg trials were deposited into a stream near Munich, along with those of Luftwaffe chief Hermann Go- ering, who killed himself in Al lied custody. Some mystery remains in some cases, most notably that of Hitler. Witnesses reporting Hilter’s suicide in a Berlin bunker said his remains “were wiped out by uninterrupted Russian ar-* tillery fire,” William L. Shirer wrote in his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Squirrels threaten Toll KAMAKURA, Japan (AP) — Mutsuko Sakai considers them her friends, although they do tend to be a handful. They have bitten her, she admits, “with teeth like nails.” And they have raided the pantry at her restau rant. But what can you do? They're just too cute. Squirrels dwelling in and around the forests of this ancient capital city are destroying communication lines, pilfering food and threatening to in vade Tokyo. Although they are supported by legions of nut-tossing, chocolate bearing tourists, the squirrels have grabbed front-page headlines and led victims oftheaninu l to form anti-squirrt I groups. Japan has never betrl squirrel haven. Squirrejs are not tltfl parks that they are in r | countries, and had pres I seen more in zoos thani else. But for reasons yeti mined, the populationofl squirrels, imported toJil Taiwan before World m more than tripled over ill years, said Kaoru Fuel searcher at the Japan Wil sociation, which studil wildlife issues. Special Torah created to bn Jewish life to Auschwitz sit OSWIEC1M, Poland (AP) — Dancing and clapping with joy, a group of Americans on yesterday brought a specially made Torah to the only remaining synagogue in Oswiecim, the southern town where the Auschwitz Nazi death camp was located. The ceremony symbolized the rebirth of Jewish life in the Polish town synonymous with the Nazi “final solution” for eliminating Jews from Europe. More than 1.5 million people, 90 percent of them Jewish, per ished in gas chambers or died of starvation and disease at Auschwitz and the nearby Birke- nau camp. “It shows that we can carry on with our lives despite everything that happened to Jews here,” said a tearful Ir^ne Feldman, 66, of New York.
