The student Eugène Ost was dismissed from the university for not
wanting to join the ethnic German movement. He again refused to
do this as a prospective teacher in April 1942. Sent to Germany and
was eventually arrested in June 1942 when he refused to take the
Hitler oath. The Gestapo committed him to the Dachau concentration
camp in August 1942. Working as a clerk in the Malaria experiment
station, Ost was able to preserve important documents on these experiments. After liberation he handed them over to the prosecution of
the Dachau trial.
Ost wrote numerous articles about the Dachau concentration camp
and for many years was active in the leadership of the Luxembourg
survivors association and the International Dachau Committee
