Testimony of SS-Obersturmfuehrer Dr. Fritz Klein [Quoted in "The Belsen Trial" - Edited by R. Phillips, William Hodge and Company, 1949.p. 717] ---------------------------------------------------------------- When transports arrived at Auschwitz it was the doctor's job to pick out those who were unfit or unable to work. These included children, old people and the sick. I have seen the gas chambers and crematoria at Auschwitz, and I knew that those I selected were to go to the gas chamber. But I only acted on orders given to me by Dr. Wirtz. . . . I never protested against people being sent to the gas chambers, although I never agreed. One cannot protest when in the army.
