These men have been brainwashed that they had no rights. They were taught they were no more men, not even numbers.

None of the Haguenau prisoners were alleged innocents in waiting for their judgment. No judge could possibly have condemned the vegetables they became in a couple of weeks. All had already been condemned, thus no more likely to raise the sympathy of the press.

If those “historians” have retained this lullaby about prisoners in waiting for their judgment, it might be to justify the unusually short period prisoners would stay there: an unusually high percentage deaths and those who definitely lost their minds had to be sent to a psychiatric hospital. One can also imagine the accidents that happened, with those men working with tools, yet saturated of nerve sedatives. Many might also have been sent there to “teach them a lesson” for having complained about another prison and asked a transfer.

They were subject to all sorts of accusations, which aimed at justifying the treatment they endured. Most of them had hardly gone to school and thought of having wrongly been diagnosed psychotic, not realising it was no hospital, or else there could not have been forced labour.

Our survivor has a strong character, and is naturally very outspoken, but when he talks of Haguenau, he becomes incredible quiet, as if it still hurts secretly.  I believe him very bright, yet he seemed surprised when I told him that the case had all the characters of crime against humanity: mass and collusion.

We are definitely going to file a complaint to the EEC, but we don’t know where it is going to end, as we’d need more means: lawyers, detectives to find other survivors, etc. Most organisations and journalists don't care for those "old cases". France obviously tries to hide what has happened.

Here is the translation of the only comment found on Internet of a former prisoner (who is not our survivor), on the site that makes the Haguenau prison appear as a holiday camp:

“…For having been there three times, I do not have such an idyllic vision of the place. For Haguenau Dr. Mr., ex doctor of the prison and Dr. W, ex psychiatrist could have testified... ALL the prisoners were under nerve sedatives with amounts that you cannot imagine... yes, yes! The under-ground floor was the cooler. I step foot there once, it was worthy of the Spanish inquisition under Torquemada, yes, yes! ..”

I might add that in the World today it is beyond doubt that there are many cases of inhumane treatment carried out on prisoners and every case needs opening up, plus the culprits need also bringing to justice for their crimes.

I am delighted that the Princess de Croy foundation is again leading the way in openly exposing these Human Rights abuses and you are assured of my continued support.
