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.
In April 1943, a German officer was killed nearby. The Gestapo was arresting many people living in Łapy and holding them hostage. While the witness was at work, she found out that her mother had been arrested and taken from home. The witness arrived at the military police building where she asked for permission to say goodbye to her mother. The witness´ mother was waiting in a queue to go onto the truck. When the time had come for her to board, the witness pushed her aside and boarded the truck in her place. They were transported to a prison in Białystok where conditions were terrible. The newcomers were held fifty women to a cell. Many inmates were taken from the prison to be shot. After a week, the witness and many other female prisoners were transferred to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. On the trip to the camp, the female prisoners were accompanied by Ukrainian guards who served in the SS. The male inmates were taken to the Gross-Rosen 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.
