[1.] Rank, name and surname of the interviewee:
Cavalry Captain Władysław Kondraciuk.
[2.] The expulsion of the civilian population. Its course and conditions:
I was arrested for no reason at all. The same applies to my wife.
[3.] Methods of interrogating and torturing the arrestee during investigation:
I was beaten, because I was accused of espionage. I was interrogated for 12 hours straight.
[4.] Court procedures, ruling in absentia, ways of delivering verdicts (particularly desirable are full texts of judgements):
After eleven months of imprisonment, without any trial, it was read out to me that I was sentenced to five years of exile.
[5.] Cases of people who were murdered during their march, during their deportations, during their stay in prison or during their work as forced laborers:
I witnessed a mass shooting in the camp in Kozhva – Vorkuta-Stroy. Nine people were killed on the spot, and a dozen or so died from wounds. I don’t know their surnames.
[7.] Life in the forced labor camps (camp organization and work quotas):
The camp was headed by a former convict, a Tsarist officer I think, and there were also guards and the NKVD. The work was very hard: I had to carry wood from the forest on my back, and the food was very bad.
[8.] Life in prisons:
I was incarcerated in Brześć for eleven months. The prison was very dirty, there was lice. The food was so deplorable that people were swelling from hunger.
[9.] Life in settlements (the Soviet authorities’ attitude towards the Polish population sent into exile without court judgements):
I don’t know.
