| sources and conversations you had with other
people are not admissible here now. All that you can tell is what transpired
between you and Aust. MR. SHILLER: May it please the Tribunal, I believe the witness has now covered that point adequately and the prosecution has no further questions. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: Any cross-examination of this witness? |

| DR. HEIM (Counsel for defendant Schwalm) :
Witness, was any immediate pressure exerted on you in order to visit that
agency at Brussels? WITNESS SYDOWER : Yes. Otherwise my exemption wouldn't have been extended any longer. I had to go there so that the Racial Office would be able to furnish the proof for me, and they were to make additional inquiries about that because I was unable to furnish the certificate about my wife's grandfather, and I didn't want to do so either. Q. Did the Administrative Area Headquarters tell you that the agency of Mr. Aust was competent for this matter? A. Yes. They told me that he was competent. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: I will have to remind this counsel just what I told counsel for the prosecution. The only subject of this inquiry is the conversations he had with the witness Aust — nobody else. DR. HEIM: Witness, from document book 13-A of the prosecution, I am now going to hand you the Document NO-1494, Exhibit 556. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: Is that a conversation with Aust? Does that refer to a conversation with the witness Aust? DR. HEIM: This letter was dictated by Mr. Aust in the presence of the witness, your Honor. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: Very well. DR. HEIM: Witness, was this letter, which you have before you now as a document, dictated by Mr. Aust in your presence? WITNESS SYDOWER: I don't know that, I know nothing about it. PRESIDING JUDGE WYATT: Any other questions? DR. HEIM: Witness, can you still remember the day when you had this discussion? WITNESS SYDOWER: It was in 1944, but I can't recall the exact date any more, it may have been in April or May. Q. Is that date correct? A. I don't know that exactly. Q. Does this date agree with the date on the document? |
