Johann Paul Kremer (26 December 1883 – 8 January 1965) was a professor of anatomy and human genetics at Münster University who joined the Wehrmacht on May 20, 1941.
He served in the SS in the Auschwitz concentration camp as a physician during World War II, from 30 August 1942 to 18 November 1942. A member of the NSDAP, he was involved in Nazi human experimentation on the prisoners of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
He was sentenced to death in the Auschwitz Trial, but this sentence was later commuted to one of life imprisonment.
He was released in 1958. Kremer kept a diary of his time at Auschwitz.
Interspersed with entries of mundane, day to day events are multiple accounts of murder, depravity, gassings and special actions. September 5, 1942 : In the morning attended a special action from the women's concentration camp; the most dreadful of horrors.
Obersturmführer Heinz Thilo was right when he said to me that this is the anus mundi.
In the evening towards 8:00 attended another special action from Holland [sic].
Because of the special rations they get a fifth of a liter of schnapps, 5 cigarettes, 100 g salami and bread, the men all clamor to take part in such actions.
Today and tomorrow (Sunday) work.
