Jewish women interned in the Oswiecim camp in occupied Poland are being used by the Germans for “experimental sterilization” and for “artificial breeding,” a report reaching here from the underground movement in Poland reveals.
The report states that 580,000 Jews have perished in the Oswiecim camp from the day it was opened until the middle of this year. There were still 80,000 Jews left there this past summer, most of them brought to Poland from other countries.
