Another victim of sterilization “experiments” by Nazi Dr. Karl Clauberg at the Auschwitz concentration camp came forward today to testify before the president of the Tel Aviv district court. Testimony is being taken at the request of a West German court which will try Dr. Clauberg for crimes against humanity.
The victim, a young woman, explained how she was brought to the Nazi death camp as an adolescent and given injections which destroyed the possibility of her ever having children. One result of these experiments, she said, was the break-up of her post liberation marriage. She testified that a number of other women who were human “guinea pigs” for Dr. Clauberg died following injections. She still feels pain even now, the woman said.
