A. That day the policewoman, camp policewoman, came with a piece of paper where my name was written down. The policewoman told us to follow her. When I asked her where we were going, she told me that she didn’t know. She took us to the hospital. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. It might have been an execution, transport for work, or operation.
Dr. Oberheuser appeared and told me to undress and examined me. Then I was X-rayed. I stayed in the hospital. My dress was taken away from me. I was operated on 22 November 1942 in the morning. A German nurse came, shaved my legs, and gave me something to drink. When I asked her what she was going to do with me she did not give me any answer. In the afternoon I was taken to the operating room on a small hospital trolley. I must have been very exhausted and tired and that is why I don’t remember whether I got an injection or whether a mask was put on my face. I didn’t see the operating room.
When I came back I remember that I had no wound on my leg, but a trace of a sting. From that time I don’t remember anything till January. I learned from my comrades who lived in the same room that my leg had been operated on. I remember what was going on in January, and I know that the dressings had been changed several times.
Q. Witness, do you know who performed the operation upon your leg?
A. I don’t know.
Q. Now, you say that you had dressings changed. Who changed the dressings on your leg?
A. The dressings were changed by Drs. Oberheuser, Rosenthal, and Schiedlausky.
Q. Did you suffer a great deal while these dressings were being changed?
A. Yes, very much.
Q. Witness, will you step down from the witness box and walk over to the defendants’ dock and see if you can recognize anyone in that dock as being at Ravensbrueck concentration camp during the period and during the time that you were operated on?
