Warsaw, 5 November 1945. The District Investigating Judge of the Warsaw District Court interviewed [the person named below] as a witness:

| Parents" names | Stefan and Melania, née Bystrzyńska |
| Date and place of birth | 7 July 1900 in Leningrad |
| Religious affiliation | Roman Catholic |

| Criminal record | none |
| On 4 November 1945 | Życie Warszawy newspaper published a list [list no. 2] of so-called |
war criminals. The German woman Drechsler is listed under number 37. With regard to her, I testify: I was a prisoner at Auschwitz and then at Rajsko from 15 December 1942 until 18 January 1945. I state that the German woman Drechsler was never a guard at the Rajsko camp, although she was well known at [both] Auschwitz and Rajsko. Drechsler was an SS woman and a deputy to the commander of the Auschwitz women"s camp, SS woman Mandl.
Drechsler was in her post the whole time I was in the camp. For a while she oversaw the morning and evening roll calls, and she wore us down by protracting them.
From Auschwitz I only remember these two SS women, i.e., Mandl and Drechsler; I have forgotten the last names of the others.
I recall the following last names of SS women from the Rajsko camp:
1) Flora Cichoń, she was gentle and turned a blind eye;
2) [Johanna] Bormann, who would hit the prisoners in the face; she sent two of us to the penal
company, and because of her denouncements a number of women received punishments like
the bunker or hard labor. I emphasize that all the SS women struck the women on the face
with their hand. Eugenia [Genowefa] Ułan told me at Rajsko that Mandl and Drechsler beat her
up and kicked her so acutely during an inspection that she felt unwell for a long time. I don"t
know where Genowefa Ułan is currently.
I heard from fellow prisoners that when women slated to be gassed were being removed from block 25 at Auschwitz (Birkenau) in 1942 and at the beginning of 1943, the overseer Hasse (I don"t know her name), an SS woman, abused them by hitting them on the head with a bludgeon until they lost consciousness. One time I saw Hasse beating and kicking prisoners returning to Auschwitz from labor in Rajsko for trying to conceal some vegetables.
Moreover, I saw the SS man Taube beat female prisoners with a bludgeon at Auschwitz. He was infamous for his cruel attitude toward the inmates.
This is all. The report was read out.
