could take a stand
against conditions in the camp
and change them
That is exactly what I was trying to say
Normal reactions
were possible only in the first few hours
After one had been there for a time
it was impossible
Once you fell into the routine
you were caught
and had to cooperate
ATTORNEY:

a doctor
you were assigned to prevent
the spread of epidemics
1ST WITNESS: Cases of spotted and typhoid fever
had broken out among some
PROSECUTING
of the camp personnel and their families

with treating the prisoners themselves
1ST WITNESS: No
PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY:

of conditions in the camp
1ST WITNESS: Shortly after I arrived

but it's not half so bad

with the liquidation program here
and it's none of our business either
If
