Viktor Brack - The Nuremberg Trial

The Nuremberg Trial

From testimony given by a French physician of Jewish descent, who was a prisoner in Auschwitz from September 1943 to January 1945, it can be found that sterilization of Jewish inmates was carried out in Birkenau camp by SS doctors. About 100 male Poles who had been sterilized at Birkenau were attended to by the witness after the operation. According to the witness, members of the group were later castrated by camp physicians.

More evidence was presented, from which it is clear that sterilization using very high doses of X-rays during several minutes was conducted on other persecuted groups. They also were subjected to the excruciatingly painful procedure, and later castrated.

Also, during the Doctors' Trial at Nuremberg, Brack was implicated in the execution of the Euthanasia Program which later emerged as the famous "Action 14f13"; the extermination of those concentration camp inmates deemed unable to work.
