Below is part of the evidence given by Sofia Wieslawa Maczka. She was a doctor of medicine, an X-ray specialist, and an inmate at Ravensbrück Concentration Camp. She gave evidence during one of the Ravensbrück trials against Gerda Quernheim, a nurse at the camp.
This piece is short and not easy to read. I do not apologize for that—too often, the horrors committed by these criminals get sugar-coated.
“The Germans would tolerate no newborn children in the camp—anyway, from the time that I arrived to the 31st Dec 1942, and to that date, there were 11 killed at birth. I saw Gerda Quernheim strangle one newly born child and generally presume that she has been responsible for the other deaths.
Fina Pautz was assistant to Quernheim. She was a German inmate of the camp and was presumed to be in the camp for Communist activities. When Quernheim strangled the child I have mentioned above, she handed it through the window to Fina Pautz, who threw it into a bucket.”
Initially, at trial, Quernheim was sentenced to death. That sentence was reduced to life, and eventually, they released her in 1961.
