MME. VAILLANT-COUTURIER: Yes. The Jewish women, when they arrived in the
first months of pregnancy, were subjected to abortion. When their
pregnancy was near the end, after confinement, the babies were drowned
in a bucket of water. I know that because I worked in the Revier and the
woman who was in charge of that task was a German midwife, who was
imprisoned for having performed illegal operations. After a while
another doctor arrived and for 2 months they did not kill the Jewish
babies. But one day an order came from Berlin saying that again they had
to be done away with. Then the mothers and their babies were called to
the infirmary. They were put in a lorry and taken away to the gas
chamber.
