| A. No. Q. Did you have means to determine otherwise, and to see how children of foreign workers were treated? A. I visited a children's home in a factory camp near Hamburg, where German children were lodged together with the children of Eastern female workers, and all I can say is that I was delighted about this lodging, and I gained the best possible impression. The children were cared for in the same way by Red Cross nurses, and the mothers, the Eastern workers, always had the opportunity, even during their working hours, to come and see their children and say hello to them. Q. Had these children been brought into this home on the strength of a racial examination? Could you determine that? A. No, but I don't think that was the reason. Q. In the area of the Higher SS and Police Leader, Southwest, do you have knowledge of any case where, in the case of a racially desirable child, a mother had been forced to separate herself from her child? A. No. Q. Now the prosecution has submitted a fundamental decree dated 27 July 1943. That is Document NO-1383, Prosecution Exhibit 496, in document book 10. In this order mention is made of the fact that if mothers of racially desirable children wanted to return home with their children, they should be conscripted for work in the Reich and should thus be kept in the Reich territory. Now my question is whether this was carried out in the area of the Higher SS and Police Leader at Stuttgart? A. Well, I don't even know that order. Q. I only wanted to know whether such a case was carried out in practice. A. No, that is unknown to me. |
