(54) DEPOSITION OF PAUL LICHTENSTEIN (Hungarian, aged 22)

2. At Belsen I was employed in the removal of corpses from the blocks, and during the course of this duty had to pass No. 2 Kitchen. One day, just before the English [British] came, I saw the kitchen chief there, who I recognise as No. 3 on photograph 3, shooting at prisoners who were attempting to steal carrots from a pile outside the kitchen. I saw three fall down, but cannot say whether they were dead or not. I am now told that the man whom I recognise as No. 3 on photograph 3 is named Fritz Mathes. On other occasions from 7th April, 1945, until the English [British] came, whilst I have been quite a distance away, I have seen Mathes shooting prisoners for the same offence, but I cannot say whether any were killed or injured.
