Roma Union shocked at inactivity for decades towards KZ-physician
Germany

PRESS RELEASE

Frankfurt-Main / Germany (RNN Correspondent) 03.11.1998

Only when KZ-physician Münch, a former doctor in the concentration camps, gave a typical interview, in which he described the experiments with human beings in the concentration camps as „ very important for science", the public prosecutor of Munich went to work.
Münch had said without any remorse that the destruction of Jews had caused „technical problems" and that there had been „ideal working conditions" in the concentration camps. Roma and Sinti as well had been victims of inhuman experiments. Most of the physicians who became guilty during the national socialism have never been called to account and started a career after 1945. Public remarks like that from writer Martin Walser, receiver of the peace award of the German booktrade, support a social climate that admits ignorance and repression. He wants to make responsibility and guilt of Auschwitz a private and personal matter, leaving it to fall in oblivion. A climate like this humbles the victims and their children's children a second time and absolves the perpetrators.
