July 27, 1942:
- "The German government in the Occupied Eastern Territories warns that any Pole or Ukrainian who attempts to hide or assist a Jew will be "shot dead." "
"Composed of Jewish patients, mostly women, Block 10 at Auschwitz was the site of Nazi medical research.
The barrack was known as "Clauberg's Block" after the physician, Carl Clauberg (left), who conducted much of the experimentation there.
Clauberg was especially interested in infertility and sterilization research, areas that won him the personal backing of Heinrich Himmler, who wondered 'how long it would take to sterilize a thousand Jewesses.'
Clauberg used injections, probably of the substance formalin, to cause obstructions in the fallopian tubes and prevent pregnancy."
