skin lies in folds and is without elasticity, the joints spring out as though broken.<br />

Often women <strong>of</strong> childbearing age weigh no more than 65 pounds. <strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> stillborn children is<br />

approaching the number <strong>of</strong> those born alive, and an increasing proportion <strong>of</strong> those die these days.<br />

Very <strong>of</strong>ten the mothers cannot stand the loss <strong>of</strong> blood in childbirth and perish. Infant mortality has<br />

reached the horrifying height <strong>of</strong> 90%." - Congressional Record, March 29th 1946, p.2865<br />

STARVING CHILDREN SO THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE - WHILE FOOD IS WITHHELD<br />

"In Frankfurt at a children's' hospital there have been set aside 25 out <strong>of</strong> 100 children. <strong>The</strong>se will be<br />

fed and kept alive. It is better to feed 25 enough to keep them alive and let 75 starve than to feed the<br />

100 for a short while and let them all starve."<br />

Dr. Lawrence Meyer, Executive Secretary <strong>of</strong> the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, January 13th<br />

1946<br />

"In Berlin, in August, 1945, out <strong>of</strong> 2,866 children born, 1,148 died, and it was summer, and the food<br />

was more plentiful now. From Vienna a reliable source reports that... infant mortality is approaching<br />

100%.<br />

<strong>The</strong> infant mortality rate is 16 times as high today as in 1943. <strong>The</strong>re is going to be a definite age<br />

group elimination, <strong>Most</strong> children under 10 and people over 60 cannot survive the coming winter."<br />

Congressional Record, December 4th 1945, p11553<br />

"German children look in through the window. We have more food than we need, but regulations<br />

prevent giving it to them. It is difficult to look at them. I feel ashamed <strong>of</strong> myself, <strong>of</strong> my people, as I<br />

eat and watch those children. <strong>The</strong>y are not to blame for the war. <strong>The</strong>y are hungry children. What<br />

right have we to stuff ourselves while they look on - well-fed men eating, leaving unwanted food on<br />

plates, while hungry children look on. What right have we to damn the Nazi and the Jap while we<br />

carry on with such callousness and hatred in our hearts."<br />

<strong>The</strong> Diaries <strong>of</strong> Charles A. Lindbergh, p.961. Harcourt Brace Javanovich, N.Y. 1970<br />

STARVED TO CANNIBALISM<br />

"Official announcement that two German women had been murdered and the flesh sold on a food<br />

black market aroused fear today that organized gangs <strong>of</strong> human butchers were at work here.<br />

Spokesmen for the Criminal Investigation Department <strong>of</strong> the German Police said only two cases <strong>of</strong><br />

'murder for flesh' have been established but it was possible the butchers were operating on a much<br />

larger scale, killing their victims and peddling their flesh in local black markets."<br />

United Press, February 18th 1946<br />

"Thirty-three workmen collapsed from hunger today... with hostility rising among the Hamburg<br />

working classes, and food riots continued in Hamburg for the fourth straight day."<br />

United Press, Hamburg, March 22nd 1946<br />

DELIBERATE OR INEVITABLE CHAOS?<br />

"<strong>The</strong> fact can no longer be suppressed, namely, the fact that it has been and continues to be, the<br />

deliberate policy <strong>of</strong> a confidential and conspirational clique within the policy making circles <strong>of</strong> this<br />

government to draw and quarter a nation now reduced to abject misery.<br />
