whether or not you had any knowledge of any eastern workers during
your stay in Essen having come there involuntarily, having left their homes
involuntarily and having been brought to Germany to work?
A. No, I know
nothing of such.
Q. Well, now upon the other hand, from your
conversations with them and what you could learn otherwise, your opinion is
that all the Slays that had been working in Krupp Essen had left their homes
and came voluntarily to work in Germany?
A. No, not only at Krupp, but
they worked all over Germany, and I only had to deal with, and I only know of
eastern workers at Krupp.
Q. Well, evidently there must have been some
error in the translation because I didn't ask you about anything except Krupp.
I am trying to find out about the eastern workers at Krupp, nowhere else. Now,
you talked with them extensively, didn’t you?
A. Yes, but not with
all of them.
Q. Well, now, you are of the opinion that all of them that
worked there in Essen at the Krupp factory, or the Krupp enterprise, left their
homes voluntarily to come to Germany to work?
A. From the people with
whom I talked, I got the impression that they had come voluntarily. Of course,
I couldn’t talk to all 7,000 of them.
Q. Well, do you know from
your experience at Essen, do you know of any workers, other than German
workers, who had come there involuntarily?
A. No, I spoke very little
to other people.
JUDGE ANDERSON: That's all. |
