DELIBERATE KILLING
TREATMENT OF WOMEN CAMP VICTIM’S STORY HAMBURG, Dec. 9. The inmates of the Ravensbruck women's concentration camp were made to eat food full of sand and verminous soup, said Helena Dziedziecka, a member of the Polish underground movement and a former internee of Ravensbruck camp, giving evidence at the trial of 16 members of the staff. She added that some women were shot without being told of their sentences. The treatment of prisoners •was deliberate extermination. Women, barefooted and stripped to the waist, were paraded so that officials could select for the gas chambers those who were no longer useful for work.
