| Argument of the prosecution
concerning this aspect of the case appears in the opening statement on pages
1622 to 1694. Evidence of the prosecution and the arguments and evidence of the
defense have been divided herein into three parts: prevention of marriages,
pages 1113 to 1118 ; treatment of illegitimate Polish children, pages 1118 to
1121; and sterilization, pages 1121 to 1127. A selection from the documentary evidence of the prosecution concerning the prevention of marriages of enemy nationals is set forth on pages 1113 to 1117. An extract from the closing statement for the defendant Greifelt on this point appears on pages 1117 to 1118. One document from the prosecution's evidence on the treatment of illegitimate Polish children is set forth on pages 1118 to 1119. An affidavit by Josef Altstoetter, former department chief in the Reich Ministry of Justice and one of the defendants in Case No. 3 (Vol. III) concerning this document, submitted by the defense, follows on pages 1119 to 1121. A selection from the documentary evidence of the prosecution concerning sterilization is set forth on pp. 1121 to 1127. A selection from the evidence of the defense follows on pp. 1127 to 1131. The prosecution introduced evidence in order to prove that the Jewish husband of Margarete Gertrude Sydower was to be sterilized (NO-1494, Prosecution Exhibit 556). The defense, in order to rebut this proof, called the witness Herbert Aust, an official of RuSHA, who was active in Belgium at that time. In rebuttal, the witness Willi Sydower himself was called by the prosecution. In order to preserve the chronological sequence in which this evidence on the "Sydower Case" was introduced in the trial, this evidence has been set forth on pp. 1131 to 1139. |
