The district court at Kiel has rejected a petition for release from pre-trial imprisonment filed by Carl Clauberg, the Nazi gynecologist, who carried out sterilization experiments on Jewish women prisoners in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Clauberg is appealing the decision to the Penal Senate of the Schleswig Superior Court.
No date has vet been set for his trial on charges of “inflicting heavy bodily injury while in the exercise of an official function” in at least 170 cases. In four other cases so far, he is accused of “inflicting bodily injury of a nature that death ensued.” The taking of testimony by deposition is continuing in at least a dozen countries.
