Re: Collection of Jewish Skeletons.
According to the proposal of 9/2/42 and your approval of 23/2/42
AR/493/37, Prof. Dr. Hirt has assembled the skeleton collection which was
previously non-existent. Because of the vast amount of scientific research
connected therewith, the job of reducing the corpses to skeletons has not yet
been completed. Since it might require some time, Hirt requested 80 copies of
the directives pertaining to the treatment of the collection stored in the
morgue of the Anatomical Institute, in case Strassburg should be endangered.
The Collection can be de-fleshed and thereby rendered unidentifiable.
This however, would mean that at least part of the whole work had been done for
nothing and that this singular collection would be lost to science, since it
would be impossible to make plaster casts afterwards. The skeleton collection
as such is inconspicuous. The flesh parts could be declared as having been left
by the French at the time we took over the Anatomical Institute and would be
turned over for cremating. Please advise me which of the following three
proposals is to be carried out:
1. The collection as a whole is to be
preserved.
2. The collection is to be dissolved in part.
3. The
collection is to be completely dissolved.
