What evidence exists for mass murder at Sobibor? a) Testimony.
62) How good is testimony as a form of evidence? a)Testimony is the poorest form of evidence. The human mind is very malleable, and memory can be affected by a wide variety of factors. Very normal people can sincerely remember things that never happened. Add to this the interest of many of the witnesses in getting attention, influencing how they are themselves perceived by those around them, ameliorating their punishment, or exacting vengeance on their enemies. Testimony alone should be used only with extreme caution. 63) What was the War Refugee Board? a)The WRB was set up in 1944 by the Roosevelt administration and was head by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau who was the one who proposed the destruction of Germany’s industrial base at the end of the war. This plan was the basis of U.S. occupation policy for over two years after the German surrender.
