Remains of Nazi Doctor's Experiment Victims Found
Source: VICE
A researcher in France recently uncovered tissue samples in the eastern French city of Strasbourg of 86 Jews killed in gas chambers and used in experiments conducted by the infamous Nazi scientist August Hirt.
For more than 10 years, researcher Raphael Toledano has investigated the Nazi history of the town, but his latest discovery came on July 9 after he and the institute's director Sebastien Raul opened a cupboard that contained the labeled samples of victims' skin, intestine, and stomach.
"The labels identify each piece with precision and mention the register 107969, which matches the number tattooed at the Auschwitz camp on the forearm of Menachem Taffel, one of the 86 victims," according to a statement about the latest revelation, AFP reported.
The discovery stemmed from a note Toledano found, which was written in 1952 by the University of Strasbourg's forensic science school director Camille Simonin. The letter outlined the storage details of the jars containing the tissue samples with the aim of using them as evidence in a legal case against Hirt. The remains were kept behind a glass cupboard in the university's closed collection in a locked room. Simonin was put in charge of performing autopsies on the victims to determine the cause of death, according to AFP.

You have helped all of us who had never heard of this fiend until seeing your post. We need to know about this. One more dark area of an appalling example of fascists in power has been exposed. That's good for the human race to know about in order to remember.
