(44) DEPOSITION OF ADELAIDE DE JONG (Dutch, aged 35)

2. On 29th August, 1943, I was, against my will and for no reason of health, sterilised by Dr. Samuel, a German Jew, also a prisoner in the camp.

3. Many other persons were sterilised in this camp.

4. The orders for the operation were given by the Kommandant of the camp named Essler.

5. Dr. Samuel acted under compulsion, and I have heard that he was subsequently shot by the Germans.

(44) FURTHER DEPOSITION OF ADELAIDE DE JONG

1. Further to my deposition dated 4th May, 1945. I identify No. 1 on photograph 9 as the man referred to by me in my previous deposition as Essler. I now understand that his name is Franz Hoessler. Hoessler was the Lagerführer of the camp at Auschwitz where I was sterilised. I was injected twice by Dr. Samuel and then I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness I was in a hospital bed and was bleeding between the legs. I asked Dr. Samuel what had happened and he told me that I had been sterilised.
