DR. HELLMUTH Dix (counsel for defendant Schneider): I have one
question. The prosecution stated that four and one half millions were gassed.
Is that figure not too high, as far as your information goes?
A. In the
Auschwitz trial in Krakow, three and one-half million were determined as
definitely certain. But it was said in that connection it wasn't proven whether
perhaps it wasn't more than that.
PRESIDING JUDGE SHAKE: Now, is that
all, gentlemen? Then, Mr. Witness, you are excused from further attendance and
the Tribunal will rise for its recess. |

Decree concerning Restrictions on Change of Place of Work dated 1
September 1939
The Ministerial Council for the Defense of the Reich
issued the following legal decree: |
| |
Section I. Termination of the working contracts
Paragraph
1 |
| |
(1) Managers, workers, staff members, apprentices, volunteers, and
practitioners cannot terminate their working contract (apprenticeship) before
the Labor Office has sanctioned the termination.
(2) The termination of
a working contract prior to approval is legally invalid, unless the Labor
Office subsequently approves of it in particularly exceptional cases.
(3) The approval of the Labor Office does not constitute the decision
whether the termination of the contract is justified or not. The same applies
to termination of a contract where the term of notice is not observed.
