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.
At the beginning of January 1940, the witness was arrested by the Gestapo after being accused of possessing a radio set which was strictly forbidden. The witness was taken to a prison in Nowy Sącz where he was being tortured during interrogations. On 4 June 1940, he was released and rearrested the same day, charged with gun possession. Even this time he was interrogated and beaten by the Nazis. Five weeks later, he was sent to a prison in Tarnów where the accommodation conditions were horrible. At the end of January 1943, he was among 2000 other prisoners who were deported to Auschwitz via Brzezinki. The Nazi guards took a hard attitude towards the newcomers. After three days, the new prisoners were led into the bathhouse where they were ordered to take a bath and change their clothes. After bathing, they went into quarantine. During the period of quarantine the new prisoners were made to stand at Appell where the daily food rations were being distributed. After three weeks, the quarantine ended and the new prisoners were assigned to a regular barrack and to a regular job. The witness was assigned to work inside the camp. On 12 Mars 1943, he was among about 1500 other prisoners who were selected for transport to Sachsenhausen.
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.
