8V copy Prague, 3.12.43. Subject: Child Preidel Peter. I never spoke to the father of the child Preidle. The morning after the death of the child, the station wester Therese Rabe told me that the father had told her that he had wanted to put the child in the private department, but Mrs. Dr.Tiemann had answered him that there was no place there, Sister Therese had told him that he should have addressed such a case to the senior physician, who would certainly have known a place for the child. As to the father's claim that there were no night-watches on the station, but only cleaning women, I have to say that an older Czech nurse had the guard on the ward. The same indicates that she had always washed her hands, since there had also been sinks with disinfectant solution in every box. She would always have a coat over her white coat which was intended for the boxes. The box doors were not always closed at night, since the diphtheria children had already negatieve Absctriche. As for the second "Putzfrao", this is the case. around a nursing mother who was taken in with her sick child and went into the box at meals to take care of her child. Obersister: Erna Schmidt e.h.
