90 Jews Eligible for Compensation as
Nazi Guinea Pi es, Investigator Reports

DUSSELDORF, (JTA) ' — Dr.
Laura Schaeffer, physician and
municipal health officer in this
area, returned here after a ten-
week stay in Israel during which
she examined a number of Jew-
ish victims of Nazi pseudo-sci-

girls from Salonika, Greece, who
had been sterilized by Nazi doc-

advocate of Zionism, said that
she had encountered no obsta-

health officer she believed that

have been greater.

the Jews, Dr. Schaeffer, who was
the first German to go to Israel
on an official Bonn government
mission, but who visited Israel
last year in a private capacity,
said that "we Germans should
keep begging for forgiveness (of
the Jews) with contrition in our
hearts, and we must strive to
