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 23 December 1941, the witness’ family – except one of her sons – was arrested and sent to Warsaw’s Pawiak jail, accused of being active in the Polish resistance movement. The witness was taken to Gestapo’s HQ at Aleja Szucha where she was tortured during interrogation. In May 1942, the witness was transferred to Ravensbrück. After arriving at the camp, she was led to the baths where she was told to change her clothes. She was taken to a quarantine barrack where a Polish prisoner functionary was in charge. After three weeks the quarantine ended and the witness was assigned to a regular barrack and to a regular job. The witness was forced to hard physical labour inside the camp. Prisoners did twelve-hour shifts and they were badly treated by the Nazi guards. The witness fell ill and was laid up in the infirmary for a month. In September 1943, the witness was selected for a labour transport to the Grüneberg munitions factory. Two months later, she was sent back to Ravensbrück where she would be hospitalized.
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.
