DDT and Artificial Fats
In August 1944 Přemek Neumann was summoned to go to the camp for Jewish men of mixed race in Bystřice u Benešova. He was not even seventeen years old and so he was placed to the group of easier labour. “It was said that there were some food experiments. They did not give us much food so we were tested for artificial fats. At least that was what I thought. I got ulcers on my neck, so I went to the medical attendant. He cut it and told me: ‛That is from the food, they give us artificial fat.’” The experiments with food were not the only thing Mr Neumann got into contact with. “They gave us a small box with a powder, in case we got fleas we should have dust it with that powder. We did not know the powder, but later I smelled it and recognized it, it was DDT. It had never been tested before. There were millions of fleas and it worked a little.”
