Styckad av en björn och en örn i bur

New York Times den 10 november 1988

Styckad av en björn och en örn i bur. Enligt Förintelseöverlevaren Morris Hubert praktiserades i koncentrationslägret Buchenwald en metod där judar kastades in i en bur med en björn och en örn. Björnen dödade fången genom att slita denne i stycken, varpå örnen pickade i sig delar av kroppen:

"Morris Hubert, an 82-year-old retired butcher, was also arrested on Kristallnacht as he drove a car near his home in Frankfurt. The Nazis lined up 50 of us before the machine guns, he said. The commandant was called away to take a phone call. We waited. When he returned he sent us away. I still do not know why. Later, Mr. Hubert was sent to Buchenwald. In the camp there was a cage with a bear and an eagle, he said. Every day, they would throw a Jew in there. The bear would tear him apart and the eagle would pick at his bones. But that's unbelievable, whispered a visitor. It is unbelievable, said Mr. Hubert, but it happened.'"
