EXPERIMENTS ON HUMAN BEINGS
EVIDENCE AT TRIAL OF 23 DOCTORS
(Rec. 11 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 9. Edith Schmidt, who was a witness at the resumption of the Nuremberg trial of 23 doctors charged with experimenting on human beings, quoted a Luftwaffe doctor, Professor Hagen, as saying: “Poles are not human beings.” Hagen made the statement at Strasbourg University in 1943. Schmidt said that she protested to Hagen when she learned that influenza experiments were carried out in the Schirmek concentration camp. Hagen told her the experiments were carried out only on Poles.
A prison psychiatrist, Lieutenant Rosengarten, said that the prisoners showed no remorse for their crimes ©r pity for their victims.
