From February 1940 I worked as a caretaker in the Arbeitsamt.
The detention room was established by the Arbeitsamt in 1943 and closed in 1945. There were only Poles in the camp.
I cannot say how many people there were on average, as there were many round-ups and the size of the groups that were brought in varied. I cannot specify how many people passed through the camp during its period of operation, but there were a lot of them. All the prisoners were deported to the West.
The prisoners from the detention room didn’t work at all. They received food from Caritas.
There was no infirmary in the camp and the prisoners didn’t receive any medical assistance. There were no deaths in the camp.
No executions were carried out in the camp. There was no crematorium.
I don’t know whether any material evidence survived.
I don’t know the surnames of the people who were imprisoned in the camp.
The surnames of the German functionaries and the commander of the camp were: Weealt, Rajsztajn, Koch, Erlich; there were also others whose surnames I don’t know.
At this the report was concluded, read out and signed.
