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 26 February 1944, the witness was arrested in Sokółka and taken for interrogation to Gestapo´s HQ in Białystok. She was accused of refusing the delivery obligations of pork meat, which was a crime according to the German authorities. Shortly afterwards she was transferred to a prison where she was ordered to wash clothes belonged to those prisoners who had been executed by the Nazis. In August 1944, she was among 1000 other inmates who were loaded onto cattle wagons and transported to Ravensbrück. When they arrived at the camp, they were herded over to the bathhouse. The newly arrived prisoners went into quarantine. After three weeks they were selected for a labour transport to Magdeburg where they would be used as slave labourers. The living conditions in Magdeburg were dreadful. Prisoners who did not reach their quotas in addition to rations being withheld were sent to the punishment block. Accused of being involved in sabotage, a seventeen-year-old Russian girl was hanged in front of the entire 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.
