is so mentioned on the distribution list. Q. What is particularly interesting, looking at that document? A. When I look at this document I can see with great detail the chronological activity of the whole procedure split up into ten agencies directly involved in this affair. First of all, Reich Leader SS and Chief of the German Police; (2) RSHA; (3) General Plenipotentiary for Labor Allocation Sauckel; (4) Health Leader Dr. Conti; (5) the Labor Exchange; (6) the Youth Office; (7) the Higher SS and Police Leader as representative of the Reich Commissioner; (8) the racial examiner of the RuS leader attached to the Higher SS and Police Leader; (9) the National Socialist Welfare, in other words, the Nazi Party in the case of a positive judgment; and (10) the Foreign Children Care Center of the German Workers Front or Reich Food Estate. Q. Will you please look at page 7 of this document, Witness? Were you connected with the separation of infants from their mothers ? A. No, but here again I want to point out that according to this document here the possible and temporary separation from the mother was possible only with the approval of the mother. For the rest I was not connected with the whole matter. Q. Did you ever hear about the fact that such infants were brought to special collection centers for extermination, as charged by the prosecution? A. No, never. That would have been complete nonsense too, and it would have been in contradiction with the basic idea of keeping valuable blood by the racial examinations, if this valuable blood had been destroyed after birth. It is completely absurd. |
