I omit the next paragraph.
“I hereby certify that 368 incurably insane patients, whose names appear on the annexed list, died on 29 January 1942.”—Signed—“Kirste, SS Sturmbannführer.”
The second document is submitted as Exhibit Number USSR-410 (Document Number USSR-410). This is a report of the head of the Security Police and SD in Latvia, Number 357/42g, dated 28 May 1942. I am quoting the one paragraph from this document:
“I hereby certify that 243 incurably insane patients, whose names appear on the enclosed list, died on 14 April 1942.”—Signed—“Kirste, SS Sturmbannführer.”
The third document is submitted as Exhibit Number USSR-398 (Document Number USSR-398). This is a report by the head of the Security Police and SD, Latvia, dated 15 March 1943. I will read into the record the one paragraph of this document:
“I hereby certify that 98 incurably insane patients, whose names appear on the enclosed list, died on 22 October 1942.”—Signed—“Kirste, SS Sturmbannführer.”
I think I can also omit the next one and a half pages of my statement; but I would request the Tribunal to accept as evidence the following document without reading it, as proof of the experiments carried out on live persons. I submit as Exhibit Number USSR-406 (Document Number USSR-406) the data about the experiments carried out in another camp, the Ravensbrück Camp. It contains the results of the investigation by the Polish State Commission. The photographs contained therein are very characteristic and I need not comment on them.
I would now request the Tribunal’s permission to summon as witness a Polish woman, Shmaglevskaya, to have her testify regarding only one question, the attitude of the German fascists toward the children in the concentration camps. Would the President permit the calling of this witness?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, certainly.
[The witness, Shmaglevskaya, took the stand.]
