Dean Hcinrich Greubcr, G9-year-old Berlin Lutheran minister, testified 'he tried lo 'help the Jews with frequent visits to Eichmann's ge.stapo office from   1039  to  1043.
"He never said yes to anything," the cleric said.
"Always he said  either 'no'
or  kept air."
Dean Grueber was himself sent to Dachau concentration camp by Eichmann in 1013 and underwent physical tor-lures. Nevertheless, the clergyman apologized to the defendant for calling him names, saying, "I hope the accused docs not mind, 1 do not come here out of revenge or hatred." 8OM13 WBIIB BETTER
