DIE LIKE FLIES
By Clinton Conger
United Press Correspondent
Hannover, April 11. (U.R)
(Delayed) Eight months ago
the Germans brought 1,000 Pol
ish Jews to Hannover to build
an underground arms factory.
Today In lice-ridden, filthy
shacks I saw the 190 survivors,
some so 111 and starved they may
not live.
These laborers were "expend
ables," in the Nazi view, because
they were members of a race
the Nazis wanted to exterminate.
As long as they could work
the overseers worked them 12
hours a day, quarrying out a
refuge in which the arms plant
could operate safely from allied
bombers.
If the Jews died or became
too weak, they were "taken
away."
The survivors today hardly
look like human beings. Their
skin is covered with scabs and
is stretched drumtight over their
bony bodies. Their glazed eyes
are sunken and their cheeks are
hollow. Their hair is matted and
they are "clothed" In dirty rags.
