As usual, the liver and spleen were preserved in Carnoy, and the pancreas in Zenker (prisoner no. 68030)".
The prisoner with this camp number arrived at Auschwitz on October 14, 1942, with a transport from the occupied Netherlands, from the Westerbork camp. His name was Hans de Yong, born February 18, 1924, in Frankfurt. He perished on November 13, 1942 (in the right picture).
SS-Obersturmführer Johann Paul Kremer, a professor of anatomy from the University of Münster who lectured there on anatomy and human genetics, carried out research in Auschwitz in connection with diseases resulting from the effects of starvation on the human organism, particularly “brown liver atrophy” (braune Atrophie). He chose prisoners who struck him as suitable research subjects from those who asked to be admitted to the hospital, or he simply chose them from among the patients in the hospital. The chosen prisoners were killed.
Johann Kremer was tried in the Auschwitz trial at the sitting of the Supreme Court National Tribune in Kraków throughout Nov & Dec 1947

The participation of numerous German physicians in criminal medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners was a particularly drastic instance of the trampling of medical ethics. The initiators and facilitators of these experiments were Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, together with SS-Obergruppenführer Ernst Grawitz, the chief physician of the SS and police, and SS-Standartenführer Wolfram Sievers, the secretary general of the Ahnenerbe (Ancestral Heritage) Association and director of the Waffen SS Military-Scientific Research Institute.
