3. Back in the early 1970s when I lived in Los Angeles County,
I met a lot of holocaust survivors who worked as volunteer at the Wadsworth V.A. Hospital where my husband and I worked then. Most did not have children, saying they could not bring children into such an evil world but perhaps they were sterile from the concentration camp mistreatment. I have read that the women stopped menstruating at the camps so something that was put into their food was hindering menses or causing infertility. One thing that caused permanent sterility in Nazi Europe was having a Jew or other targeted person stand to fill out paperwork while two x-rays were aimed at the reproductive tract of the person that was painless and unknown to the person, causing permanent sterility.
