Gassing acknowledged by SS Oskar Gröning

The atrocities he witnessed, he said, included one night in December 1942 when he was roused from bed to help hunt down fleeing prisoners. In the process, he told the court, he saw prisoners herded into a farmhouse and an SS superior tip gas out of a can into an opening. The screams of the prisoners inside “grew louder and more desperate, and after a short time became quieter and then stopped completely,” Mr. Gröning said.

“That was the only time I saw a complete gassing,” he said, emphasizing, “I did not take part.”

France and economic policy

With the same Code du travail, the 35hrs/week, the 60years old retirement, France's job market cannot take any benefit of growth.
1,7 million offers are not fullfilled by a more than 10% jobless population.
