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 10 August 1944, the witness was arrested and imprisoned in Cracow, accused of being involved in the underground. At the end of September 1944, she was among a number of other prisoners who were selected for transport to Ravensbrück. After arriving at the camp, the newcomers were gathered together in the camp square, standing in the rain for 24 hours. They were starved and fainted from exhaustion. Prisoners’ daily life consisted of hard labour, lack of proper medical care, infectious diseases, starvation and abominable sanitary conditions. By sharing food, ”organized” from the camp kitchen, the prisoners helped one another to survive.
Notes
The testimony has an appendix consisting of a confirmation, please see Related records.
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.
