MME. VAILLANT-COUTURIER: Bodily ill-treatment in particular. One of the
most usual punishments, was 50 blows with a stick on the loins. They
were administered with a machine which I saw, a swinging apparatus
manipulated by an SS. There were also endless roll calls day and night,
or gymnastics; flat on the belly, get up, lie down, up, down, for hours,
and anyone who fell was beaten unmercifully and taken to Block 25.
