Need for urgent action by the Federal German Republic to aid several hundred victims of Nazi medical experiments in the concentration camps is stressed in a memorandum submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Commission by the Agudas Israel World Organization.
The memorandum points out that although detailed information on more than 200 cases of survivors of these experiments had been submitted to the Bonn Government, little has yet been done to aid them.
Information on these cases was submitted to the United Nations by the governments of the Netherlands, Sweden and Israel. A number of victims of these experiments have died since the United Nations launched its inquiry, the memorandum reports. It requests that the Bonn Government be required to grant generous assistance to those who still survive.
