Every one of the pregnant women had visited the infirmary on the exact days when the same doctor — an experienced gynecologist transferred there for a “special assignment” — was on duty.

And each had complained of different symptoms, easy to fake or provoke.

The investigator opened a classified logbook: on those days, the inmates were taken under anesthesia to a separate procedure room “for examination.”

The logbook was classified. Only three people had access to it.

And it was there, according to the documents, that “assigned reproductive manipulations” were carried out — a phrase that gave the entire commission chills.
