Abstract
This document is part of a series of interviews with former prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. The interviews were conducted in 1945-1946 by the Polish Research Institute in Lund.
After the German occupation of Łódż had begun labour round-ups would often take place. In 1943 the Ghetto uprising had been completed. The remaining Ghetto population was sent to Majdanek. One of the witness´ brothers escaped from a prison transport and was in hiding in the countryside. Two months later he joined the resistance movement that received food from Polish peasants and survived the war, living in the forest. The witness´ second brother was among those who were starving in the Łódż ghetto so he applied for permission to be sent to a German labour camp.
Notes
About the collection: At the end of World War II approximately 20,000 Nazi concentration camp prisoners were evacuated to Sweden. Many of them were Polish citizens. In order to document their experiences, Zygmunt Łakociński founded the Polish Research Institute in Lund. The collection contains 512 in-depth interviews with survivors, materials that they brought with them to Sweden, and also other material that the institute collected, compiled, and created.
