CAMERA EVIDENCE
CAPTIVES’ SUFFERINGS INTERNEE’S SNAPSHOTS NAZI LEADER’S VISIT (10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 29. Photographs taken at the infamous Nauthausen concentration camp were shown on the screen in the Nuremberg courtroom at the end of yesterday’s sitting as evidence in the main that the accused, Kaltenbrunner, chief of the S.S. Security Police, visited the place with Himmler, says The Times’ correspondent at Nuremberg. A young Spaniard, Francois Boix, a professional photographer, who was interned at Nauthausen, identified the pictures, one by one. One view showed a group of Viennese police ofificials visiting the great quarry from which the prisoners were forced to carry heavy loads of stones up nearly 200 steps. Other photographs showed an escaped Austrian prisoner oeing paraded around the camp on a barrow bearing the inscription: “All birds come home to roost.” before he was executed. Other exhibits showed bodies of people who were driven to suicide or who had been shot on the barbed wire.
