EXTRACTS FROM THE TESTIMONY OF PROSECUTION WITNESS DR. MENNECKE[[114]]
DIRECT EXAMINATION
Mr. McHaney: Doctor, were all the concentration camp inmates selected actually insane?
Witness Mennecke: No.
Q. Will you explain your answer please?
A. By insanity we mean a disease which shows characteristic interferences with mental activity. I will not describe them but merely call them characteristics. That is what we mean by insanity. This condition was not prevalent in the majority of cases among inmates in the concentration camps.
Q. Were any inmates selected only for the reason that they were unable to work?
A. That is possible.
