I will betroth you unto Me forever;
\nI will betroth you unto Me in righteousness and in justice, in kindness and in mercy.
\nI will betroth you unto Me in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord”
\n-Hosea 2:2 1-22<\/p>\n
In 1942 the medical service of the Revier [Ravensbruck death camp] were required to perform abortions on all pregnant women. If a child happened to [be] born alive, it would be smothered or drowned in a bucket in front of the mother. Given a newborn child’s natural resistance to drowning, a baby’s agony might last for twenty or thirty minutes. The Lord, the Lord is a merciful and gracious God, According to the West German arrest papers, Dr. Mengele was accused of the following crimes, among others: sorting out arriving prisoners, particularly old people, children and pregnant women, for immediate gassing; throwing the Zyklon B poison gas into the gas chambers; throwing children alive into fires; conducting medical experiments on living prisoners, especially twins, by injecting their eyes, spines and brains with camphor and other chemicals; shooting children in order to perform autopsies on them; exposing healthy prisoners to yellow fever and extreme X-ray radiation for study; sterilizing and castrating prisoners; draining the blood of children for study, and cutting off body parts of female prisoners for tissue cultures.
