We received it in a cable of 5,200 words-quite a record for a Turkish daily-and published it in two parts (on account of a frozen quota of newsprint).

Carefully he explains to his new young "adjutant" that though all the Jews will reach Auschwitz in the end, the disposition crew will be the last to go. Each week a train leaves with its quota of victims. To postpone their fate a week, people are willing to pay huge sums. Women pay with their bodies, and Siegfried Cohn grandly takes his pick.
