DR. KAUFFMANN: What do you mean by evacuate?
SCHELLENBERG: Arbitrarily to evacuate the camps before the approaching enemy troops and to scatter them to other parts of Germany still unoccupied by the enemy troops.
DR. KAUFFMANN: What was your opinion?
SCHELLENBERG: That no further evacuation should take place, because human rights simply did not allow it.
DR. KAUFFMANN: That the camps should therefore be surrendered to the approaching enemy?
SCHELLENBERG: Yes.
DR. KAUFFMANN: Did you know that your activity, too, could bring suffering to many people, to people who were per se innocent?
SCHELLENBERG: I did not understand the question. Will you please repeat it?
DR. KAUFFMANN: Did you ever think that your activity, too, and the activity of your fellow-workers was a cause for the great suffering of many people—let us say Jews—even though these people were innocent?
SCHELLENBERG: I cannot imagine that the activity of my office could cause any such thing. I was merely in an information service.
