| DR. ZAPF (Counsel for defendant Hofmann):
Witness, in your affidavit which my predecessor has already mentioned you also
stated that Dongus designated Czechoslovakian children as being fit for
re-Germanization, those are children who had arrived in the camp of the UWZ
[resettlement office] in a transport. Before the arrival of these children did
you already receive directives in that connection? WITNESS KRUMEY: No. I had no directives at all and I didn't know what was to happen with these children. Q. What did you do then? A. I complied with my orders and contacted the local authorities to ask them whether they had any knowledge about what was to happen to these children and thus it was that Dongus found out that children were there. Q. Could you establish during your contact with Dongus whether he had had previous information or directives as to what should happen to these children? A. No. I was under the impression Dongus didn't know anything. Q. Did you receive an order by the RSHA according to which the children had to be handed over to the Gestapo according to lists ? A. An order arrived via the Gestapo that the children had to be handed over. Q. Together with this order did you receive a directive also concerning possible re-Germanization of these children? A. No. Q. That will do. In this connection did you also receive orders from the RuSHA? A. No. |
