Two witnesses testify about the liquidation of the Gypsy camp in Auschwitz: >From the testimony of Maximilian Sternol: -------------------------------------------------- ...It was the liquidation of the Gypsy compound. Terrible scenes took place. Women and children were on their knees in front of Mengele and Boger crying, 'Take pity, take pity on us'. Nothing helped. They were beaten down brutally, trampled on, and pushed on the trucks. It was a terrible, gruesome night". "Did Boger also hit them?". "Yes, he killed them. They collapsed and died and were thrown on the trucks. The entire political section was there. Yes, I saw Baretzki and Broad". (Naumann, 114) [Boger and Baretzki were sentenced to life imprisonment for taking part in numerous murders at Auschwitz. Broad was sentenced to 4 years. Dr. Mengele fled after the war and, apparently, died in South-America in the mid 1980's]. Work Cited Naumann, Bernd.
