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.
During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, the witness and her daughter were taken to the transient camp in Pruszków. After three hours they were loaded onto trains and transported to Oranienburg. The men stayed behind in Oranienburg and the women were sent to Ravensbrück. When the female prisoners reached their destination, they were ordered to turn in all items in their possession; especially money, jewelry and private documents were required. The newcomers were bathed and subjected to gynaecological examinations, including the children who were on the transport. The witness was assigned to a work crew that was responsible for shovelling sand from one place to another. At the end of September 1944, the witness was selected for a labour transport to the Köpenick camp. Corporal punishment was officially forbidden during working days but it happened quite often that prisoners were being beaten by the Nazi guards.
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.
