BELSEN TRIAL
PROSECUTION'S CASE NEAR CLOSE
LONDON, September 30
The prosecution is rapidly closing its case in the Belsen-Auschwitz atrocities trial, says the Associated Press of America.
Thfee witnesses, all Polish Jewesses who were interned in both Auschwitz and Belsen, asserted that conditions at Belsen were relatively decent before Kramer took over the command last December. With his arrival came beatings, hunger, and daily parades where prisoners stood to attention for hours.
All asserted that the Polish internee Helena Kopper, when she was made a block leader at Belsen, rivalled the members of the SS in cruelty.
