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.
On 14 Mars 1940, the witness was arrested in Pułtusk and imprisoned in Działdowo, accused of escaping from Germany where she had been forced to labour. Prisoners' daily life consisted of unhygienic conditions and lack of fresh air. The witness was released after three months´ imprisonment. On 31 December 1940, she was rearrested in Pułtusk where she would spend fifteen months, working in the kitchen. At that time, the witness was accused of being active in the underground. She was being tortured during interrogations. In April 1942, she was among a number of prisoners who were transported to Ravensbrück. The journey took 22 days. When they reached their destination, they were met by SS men and female guards with dogs. The newcomers were herded over to the bathhouse where they were told to turn in all items in their possession. Then they went into quarantine. Six days later, the new prisoners were assigned to a regular barrack and to a regular job. Those prisoners who did not reach their quotas in addition to rations being withheld were punished by the camp authorities.
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.
