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 2 July 1944, the witness was arrested in Starachowice where he was interrogated. He was accused of being involved in the Polish Home Army A.K but the Gestapo was not able to prove it. On 28 July 1944, he was transported to Auschwitz. The witness was among a group of prisoners who were forced to labour in a German factory, located near Bremen. After the factory had been destroyed by Allied forces, the prisoners tried to escape. They were betrayed by armed civilians who escorted them to the Gestapo. The witness and a number of other prisoners were taken to a labour camp located nearby Bremen. The witness was among 900 other prisoners who were selected for transport to Neuengamme. The newcomers went into quarantine for three weeks. The period of quarantine was painful for the newly arrived prisoners who were brutaly treated by the guards. After finishing quarantine, the witness along with his fellow inmates were assigned to a work crew that was responsible for digging trenches. Prisoners´ daily life consisted of hard labour, inadequate food rations and brutal treatment. At the end of April 1945, the camp was evacuated.
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.
