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.
Accused of escaping from Germany where she had been forced to labour, the witness was arrested and incarcerated in Munich. She spent three months in prison where she was interrogated by the Gestapo. In September 1941, the witness was transferred to the Rheinheim camp where the accommodation conditions were dreadful; there was one bed for every two inmates. Prisoners had to work 12-hour shifts with only a ten minutes break. Access to food and drinking water was limited. It was strictly forbidden to leave the barracks during the night. Inmates were assigned to different work crews; those who did not meet their quotas were punished by the camp authorities. The work was physically demanding especially for the elderly. In 1942, the witness was sent to prison. She was forced to sign a document confirming the fact that she was aware of being transferred to the Ravensbrück concentration 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.
