Medical Experimentation - Clauberg & Mandel
Clauberg injected chemical substances into wombs during normal
gynocological examinations. Thousands of Jewish and Gypsy women were
subjected to this treatment. Clauberg sought to answer Himmler's
query about how long it would take to sterilize one thousand women,
and eventually informed him that, using methods he developed, a staff
of one doctor and ten assistants could do the job in a single day.
The injections totally destroyed the lining membrane of the womb and
seriously damaged the ovaries of the victims, which were then removed
and sent to Berlin to test the effectiveness of the method.

Clauberg
Professor Carl Clauberg performed experiments into sterilization at
both Auschwitz and Ravensbrück. This was done on Hitler's
initiative, as he had been convinced by several doctors that mass
sterilization could provide a powerful weapon against Germany's
enemies during total war.Mandel
... after Ravensbruck ... was the head of the women's camp at
Auschwitz; the prisoners referred to her as 'the beast.' For her
share in the selections for the gas chambers and medical
experiments and for her torture of countless prisoners, she was
condemned to death in 1947 as a war criminal. (Laska)
