I knew SS-Polizeiführer [SS police leader] Dr. Böttcher personally, and I came into contact with him many times as chief doctor of the ghetto in Radom and Lagerälteste [camp leader]. I encountered the defendant only a few times, when I was summoned to him, and I received directives from him personally – the content of which I cannot recall right now. Anyway, they were extreme directives, for example, banning Jews from walking on the sidewalks. My efforts to mitigate the directives through the office subordinate [to Böttcher] were futile. I would describe the defendant as a deathly antagonist, who killed people with a pen by issuing mass death sentences from his office. His subordinates, killing or executing the sentences, always made reference to the order of the boss, i.e., the defendant.
During the deportation of the Jews in August 1942, I saw the defendant on the railway ramp surrounded by senior SS officers and Gestapo men, watching the loading of the Jews into the wagons with a cynical smile.
The defendant inspected the ghetto personally several times, issuing certain orders to his subordinate officers.
I know that after I was thrown out of my apartment, my furniture, as security, was taken away by the defendant.
The defendant was the SS-Polizeiführer for the Radom district.
The report was read out and signed.
