In April this year Muller-Roschach was heard as a witness in a trial taking place in Frankfurt dealing with the murder of 30, 000 Bulgarian and Hungarian Jews. On this occasion it turned out that the ambassador was identical with the other Dr Herbert Muller, who was responsible for Jewish questions in a department of the Foreign Ministry during the war. After world war II he changed his name by simply adding Roschach'. This fact was unknown to the General Prosecutors until the trial.
