"We all got a number on our arms and from then on we are only numbers."
The synthetic Hormones that Nazi doctor Carl Clauberg developed are available worldwide today.

"The chemical industry support certainly played a role in what he developed."
"Then they took parts of the uterus."
"Dr Clauberg paid 50 guineas a day for his guinea pigs."
"They didn't know what was happening to them or if it was reversible."
"We were just young women and had no idea what a uterus was."
"It was vicious and sadistic. A doctor is expected to have at least little compassion. It goes against what the medical profession is all about."
"It was a group of doctors only thinking about their careers.
Clauberg wanted to test when sterilization was possible even before the onset of puberty.
He was taken to the Soviet Union to be tried. He confirmed that he performed forced sterilization procedures on his 'patients.' He said he realized his actions were crimes against humanity and pled guilty.
He later denied everything.
He died before he could be tried at Nuremberg.
No doctor was ever prosecuted for this crime against humanity.
The research done on female prisoners was used in developing modern gynecology.
The biopharmaceutical group Siemens reaps large profits today from the results of Clauberg's research and cannot be held liable.
Without these companies these crimes might never have been committed.
"Almost 80 years ago, Kiel gynecologist Carl Clauberg was given permission by SS-Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler to sterilize hundreds of girls and women in Block 10 at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Clauberg had previously worked with the chemical company Schering-Kahlbaum AG to develop hormone drugs and contrast agents for use in his experiments. "We were called up with our numbers, then Clauberg appeared and injected something into our vaginas. And then they sometimes said: ‘No more children’,” remembers Auschwitz survivor Leny Adelaar.
Carl Clauberg was a leading light in world of reproductive medicine at the time; an ambitious, driven doctor who volunteered his services to the Nazis as a way to further his career. His research paved the way for the invention of the birth control pill. His work on birth control and infertility is still part of the medical canon to this day - but all too often, a veil is drawn over his experiments at Auschwitz. "
"This documentary records the experiences of the last survivors of those terrible experiences. The women talk about their lives before and after the death camp, about their suffering, their loss and how they managed to carry on living after liberation. Among them were some who were fortunate enough to have children, against all odds."
