GERMANS CONDONED
EXTERMINATION IN CAMPS
(Contlnneh tuna first
)
the same pattara of death. Hard
labor, starvation, hanging, atraanla-
Uon, Aisaaae, brutality, gas chambers,
gallows'and filthy and unMultary con-
ditloDs which meant inevitable death
eventually to every imprisoned per-
aoa
“The horrors I if w there at Buch-
enwald, Nordhausen and Dachau will
be with me as long as I live. Tbe
memory of them is a mist that has
since intruded on my avery other
thought.”
Mr. Richards said the tortures and
deaths were brooght about by the
criminal tactics of the S3 troops,
that devices and methods used brought
conditions of torture almost beyond
the power of wofda to deacribe, that
“we found that a coloaaal scheme of
Bxtennnlatloii'~4r9ar~p1aooed~ and” pul
Into .effect”
Prisdners and victims of the torture
and death- Indudad persons herded
into Germany from occupied coun
tries, InteJligentsla, college profee-
aora, former. army officers and pro
fessional men from the occupied
countries who Bad dissented from the
Nasi doctrines.
“They were crowded into tbe con
centration camps. Their food gener
ally consisted of about one-half pound
of black bread per day and a watery
soap fer noon and night—and not
alwasra that”
"Did these people suffer and die
from unavoidAhle causes T' inquired
Mr. Richards, and he answered his
own question by saying: “The answer
is plain to me. It waa a cold-blooded
plan to exterminate.” Mr. Richards
quoted from a Hitler statement to
back up a charge of planned exterml-
iiaUott. Then he asked;
“What about the military, the
Junkers who whine now that they
were misled by Hitler, who prate ot
the chivalry and apoitamanshlp for
tbe vaaquished while they dream,of
another war? What did Yon-Eund-
atedt, the chief Junker of them all
say, la a speech to the geoertla of
the Reich in 1937? He said “The Ofaat-
eat mistake we made in tbe World
War 1 waa in sparing the lives of
clvlliant in conquered countries. We
Germans must number at Isaat twice
ths population of our neighbors. This
can be accompHMied through system
atic malnutrition*.”
Mr. Richards said that in Junkers
voice was raised against Von Rnnd-
stedt's proBounciation. His plan was
their plan and they were for extermi
nation too. a
“As to the Gestapo,’’ said the speak
er, “There were 460,066 of them and
Iheve were a miHion of S8 troops.
They were the Jallefa, the tonneniora,
the tertnrers and the ezecutionera.
Tb^ had all taken the oath of i>er-
aonal allegiafice to Hitler, they wM-e
sworn to carry out hia commands and.
they, too, are as false and as guilty'
as the hinges that awing the gates of
bell.
Mr. Richards did not spare the Ger
man eivilian population. He said,
while the German civilians were not
direct accomplices In the revolting
crimes against civilization. he...3f(yald
always have a question in hia mind
as to whethvr they did not know about
and approve the things done in the
concentration camps. He stated he
Interviewed many civilians and they
would say "We did not know,” or
The Gestapo did that,” or they would
shrug their shoulders, with a sort of
"what of it” manner.
“I came away,” he said, “with the
fixed conviction that the German peo
ple condoned what was done in these
camps. They must have known of
the extermination policy and that the
policy was being carried out in these
camps and by Hitler’s minions. The
camps were all near cities, highways
and railway stations. The starving
souls were marched from the camps
to the factories to work daily. They
could be seen.
“Then too I saw shallow roofless
railway cars filled with the dead and
the dying and these can rolled for
four days across Germany from one
camp to the other for all to see.
‘"I^ose guilty of these crimes must
be punished by swift relentless Jus
tice.”
