00:11the transport and in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp itself. She also participated in these selections
00:17together with Dr. Adel Winkelmann, who later testified how these selections were carried out.

00:33superficial examination and the people who were obviously sick, unable to work, or unable to march
00:39were searched. The inmates had to bare their legs so that we could see if they were capable of walking.
