NAZI BARBARITIES

CONFIRMED BY GERMAN WRITER

[BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.]

(Recd. November 7. 11 a.m.) RUGBY, November 6.

A German medical writer, who has found sanctuary in England, after personal experience of the concentration camps at Dacuh and Buchenwald, contributes an article to the current quarterly issue of the “Catholic Medical Guardian,” confirming in almost every detail what has been published in the White Paper.

Discussing the effect of the barbarities, not only on the prisoners but on the gaolers, which he believes to be the result of a deliberate policy, the writer says: “It is interesting to note, in this tragic connection, that parties of Hitler Youth are frequently taken through the camps.- It is difficult to escape the conclusion that one of the functions of these institutions is to produce the systematic brutalisation of German youth of military age.”
