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.
A round of mass deportations of Jews from Łódź began in December 1939. Those deportations occurred under horrible circumstances, there were quite a number of cases of freezing to death. Sometimes Jews were allowed to keep their personal belongings but jewelry and money had to be hidden, if not, everything was confiscated by the German authorities. All the Jews were ordered to leave their properties and move to the Ghetto. Those who refused to obey the orders were executed. The living conditions in the Ghetto were terrible. The witness was assigned to work in a factory. It happened that the female prisoners were sexually harassed by the German supervisors.
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.
