PEOPLE--PART TWO
 Indescrihable horrors have been committed by Germans on hun- dreds of death trains" which carry unfortunate victims of the New Order from various corners of Eu- rope to concentration camps in Western Poland and Germany. Jews deported from Czechoslovakia and Austria ride in unheated cattle cars travelling as much as three weeks. Hundreds die from disease and ex- trene cold en route. In one case, when baby was born during the journey, a Nazi guard flung it from the train because there was no room for it." The mother was driven insane with grief.
 Prisoners on death trains" sel- dom know their destination. Some fumes into the truck and asphixiate tion camps after long hours of standing on railroad Sidings-as did the train which carried Samuel RajMaa1 from Warsaw to the Tremblinka camp in Poland. Even on Rajzman's short journey five women and two men died. When the train stopped at other times prisoners were deliberately destroyed
 -the old and infirm packed into large, closed trucks which had eX- haust pipes arranged to direct fumes into the truck and asphyiate the inmates. Other prospective vic- tins meanwhile watched and await ed their turn, like animals in slaughter house. Jews shipped from Frankfurt in special trains were thrown off at various locations, forced to undress, then machine gunned. Their clothes later used to replenish waning stocks in Ger many.
 In wholesale deportations from Salonika, Greece, lasting six weeks, men, women and children were packed into cattle cars. One witness who travelled over the deportation route afterwards counted bodies of 18 dead children less than 2 years old, who had suffocated and been thrown out en route.
 Women suffer the worst fate un- der the NaZi New Order-brutal torture, murder, rape. Forty girls between IA and 20 years of age in Inowroclaw, Poland, were shot shot down by their guards as they filed out of jail, when guards opened 8 door and said they were to be released. Female students were rounded up in Czechosiovakia after Germans obtained names and addresses from university offices in Prague. Nazi officers, carrying lists of students names, raided stu dents hoStels and even dragged girls from their homes. Each girl taken was handed over to group of tGn officers. If she tainted under abuse, she was restorted to con- SciouSneSS and further abused by abusing with water. Nazis make routine roundup of attractive young Polish girls for shipment to Berlin and battlefront brothelS, often on pretext of sending them to Ger mary for forced labor. Many need medical care after a month with the troops.
 Regular woman-hunts are organ ized by Germans in Warsaw, who carry off their prey in trucks. Eighty girls were Kidnapped on March 10, 1940, in one Warsaw su- blrb. With such acts receiving official German sanction, many Naz military patrols roam at night, catching girls for their own un- official pleasure. Official records show that the 228th Infantry kid naped three girls in Powisle in the Spring of 1940, taking them to quarters occupied by troops, where each of them was violated several times. The German 7th Anti-Air- craft Artillery committed similar offenses twice in the district of Mokotow. Of illigitimate children born to occupying Germany sol- dierS and women of occupied coun- tries, boys are taken to Germany and girls left behind-thus depriv- ing the country of male children and furnishing cannon fodder for Germany's next war.
 The Death March" used by JapS on Bataan is not new to Germans. In 1940 French prisoners taken in Brittany were marched for three weeks to Stuttgart. Once en route they were locked in a railroad sta tion for three days without food or drink. Often guards beat them. At their final destination they were fed in pig troughs. In formerly Oc- cupied Russia the Germans once forced survivors of typhuS epi- demic to walk hundreds of kilo- meters to another camp. StragglerS were drowned en route.
 More brutal torture methods. A German prison camp in Riga signi- fled slow and certain death to all who were sent there. Ingenious tor ture methods included tying the victim in painful cradle, with one guard beating him unmercifully while another sat on his head. At one camp in Holland prisoners were buried with only their heads above ground-an guards marched around Stamping the ground firmly until the buried persons lost conscious ness.
 Eye-witnesseS tell of brutal gym nastics" at Oswiecim Camp in Po- land, where over 90,000 persons per- ished up to July, 1922. Arriving on crowded cattlet rains without sleep and with little food for days, pris-
