		19 Dec. 45 persons involved in a camp. I have a document, a report by WVHA in August 1944, which reports the number of prisoners who were then on hand in the camps and the new arrivals who were expected. That document is our Document Number 1166-PS, which I will now offer in evidence as Exhibit Number USA-458. THE PRESIDENT: I don't think we had better go into that tonight. What will you be dealing with tomorrow? MAJOR FARR: Tomorrow, Sir, I intend to offer evidence showing how WHVA and other SS personnel were involved in the control of every phase of the concentration camp program. That is the first thing. The second thing is to point out the role that the SS played in the persecution of the Jews and their extermination; not with a view to repeating the substantive evidence to show that such acts took place, but to show how many components, how many parts, of the organization were involved in that program. Then I shall consider the role of the SS with respect to preparations for aggressive war and the Crimes against Peace — a relatively brief discussion — and then pass on to the role that the SS played in War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity, set out in Counts Three and Four of the Indictment; and finally, the role of the SS in the colonization program. THE PRESIDENT: Colonization? MAJOR FARR: That may be an unfortunate word. Perhaps I should have said Germanization program, a program of resettlement, evacuation, colonization, and exploitation of the conquered territories. Those, I think, are the four main functions of the SS which remain to be considered; and I shall endeavor not to go again into the substantive crimes which have already been shown to the Tribunal, but to try to show how almost every department — in fact, every department of the SS and every component — was involved. in one or more — and mostly more — of these crimes. THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal hopes that you will be able to confine yourself to the reading of evidence which is not cumulative. MAJOR FARR: I have that in mind and I don't intend to do that except to show the figures and components of the SS which were involved in various programs. THE PRESIDENT: Very well. [The Tribunal adjourned until 20 December 1945 at 1000 hours.] 193
