The Polish Government has submitted new evidence concerning the wartime activities of Dr. Wladislaw Dering, physician at the Oswiecim death camp to the British Government in a new attempt to obtain Dering’s extradition to Poland. Dering is now in a London prison.
The Polish Government wishes to try him on charges of conducting “inhuman” experiments, using inmates of Oswiecim as human guinea pigs. Dering, whose extradition has long been delayed, would have been released next week if no new evidence had been presented.
