The Office of War Information last night reported that the 6,200 doctors in Nazi-occupied Holland who last June voluntarily renounced the practice of their profession rather than join the Nazi-controlled medical association which required the members to carry out the Nazi order of sterilizing Jews, have been fined by Nazi Commissioner Seyss-Inquart, but reinstated in their professional practice after two months during which medical service was brought to a virtual standstill.
