PETER WEISS
you decide you don't want to stay here
you can leave
With the intention to leave the camp
after two weeks
I
went to work
A few days later
the chief camp doctor Dr Wirth
ordered me to take part
in the selections on the platform
When
I
told him
I
don't want to have anything to do
with that
he said
You won't have much to do there
But
I
still refused
PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY:
What happened when you refused
1ST WITNESS: Nothing
I
didn't have to take part
in the selections
PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY:
Did you leave the camp
after your first two weeks
1ST WITNESS: No
I
decided to stay after
all
and see if
I
couldn't do something
about the contagious diseases
I
felt that
I
could
at least in a few cases
prevent things
without exposing myself
As a result of my work the threat
of the epidemic was ended
PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY:
Among the camp personnel that
is
Not among the prisoners
1ST WITNESS: Yes
That was my assignment
