(56) DEPOSITION OF HILA LIPPMANN (Pole, aged 26)

2. I was employed as a storeman in a clothing store at Auschwitz. I attended many selection parades for the gas chamber and I name the following as having made selections in my presence: - Thus - Drechsler, Tauber, Mengele, Klein, Rohde, König; there were many others, but I do not know them by name. I have also seen the said Tauber knock a young Greek girl to the ground, beat her with a stick and kick her on all parts of the body.

3. At Belsen I was employed as a cook and cleaner in Kitchen No. 1 in Camp 1. The S.S. woman in charge was Ilse Forster. She delighted in catching both men and women internees attempting to steal vegetables from outside the kitchen. Two or three times in the course of the day she would take the culprits into a small office adjoining the kitchen and beat them with a rubber stick and kick them. She often drew blood. I saw her on one occasion beat a sick man so badly that he had to be carried away afterwards.
