scope and content: This collection contains papers concerning a threatened law suit which arose out of an assertion made in the famous TV programme Holocaust, which was broadcast in Germany in 1979. In particular, Hans Kroker, a former SS member, refutes the assertion made by one of the programme's participants that the family of this person was murdered in gas chambers, claiming that, without proof, it amounted to a vicious slur on the SS. The papers include a news magazine cutting with details of the story; a copy letter from Hans Kroker's lawyer, Eberhard Engelhardt, to the person who uttered the alleged slanderous statement, and a copy Power of Attorney.
