Nuremberg Day 69 Szmaglewska

During the Russian presentation of the Offenses against Civilians and Crimes against Humanity, L.N. Smirnov, Chief Counsellor of Justice, called Seweryna Szmaglewska concerning "the attitude of the German Fascists toward the children in concentration camps." She had been interned in the Birkenau section of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp from October 1942 - Jan. 1945. She stated in Russian that children born in the camp were promptly taken from their mothers. If Jewish, they were put to death. Non-Jewish were put in a special block to be delivered to unknown destinations. No defense counsel elected to cross-examine.
