I met defendant Alice Orlowski in April 1944 in the Płaszów camp. She stayed in that camp until October 1944.
On 23 or maybe 24 May 1944 there was a roll call for all men and women. During this roll call, Hauptsturmführer Dr. Blanke, a physician, carried out a selection of prisoners, separating the healthy from those unfit for work. During this roll call, I witnessed how the defendant whipped female prisoners and pulled them by the hair. A dozen or so days after the roll call I witnessed how Orłowski, who was a Blockführer [block leader] in block 9 (women’s block), carried out searches and divested the prisoners of all objects of greater value, such as shoes, silken underwear, dresses made of better material, powder, lipsticks, etc. I had to carry these items to her office (Blockstube). These items were not deposited in the camp warehouse (Effektenkamer).
In June there was a roll call during which the prisoners who had been determined unfit for work during the above-mentioned roll call were separated from the rest. These prisoners were deported to the Auschwitz crematoriums. During the roll call, defendant Orlowski supervised a group of some 150 children aged from six to ten years.
I witnessed how Orlowski grabbed a six-year old child (by the surname of Hausman) by the legs and banged the head of the child against the block’s stone threshold until she killed the little one. I would like to emphasize that I often saw defendant Orlowski beat the prisoners with her hand or whip.
I worked as a bath attendant (Bademeister) in the camp. Orlowski brought the inmates to the bathhouse at least once a week. Once, she gave me a wad of dollars and a gold chain for safekeeping in the bathhouse; she took these items from prisoners who came in a transport from Drohobycz. I handed these things over to Orlowski.
