He describes the horrible conditions that deportees faced. 00:33:07 The Krumey testimony is analyzed and compared with Eichmann's testimony. Its correlation with other testimonies is discussed, along with Eichmann's claim that the entire story is a fabrication. The Slawic testimony is compared with this.
