In the winter of 1943, I don’t remember the exact date, I was traveling by train from Skarżysko [-Kamienna]. At night, at the Radom station, I was detained along with all those who were riding this train. The whole train was surrounded by the gendarmerie, Bahnschutz and Gestapo, and everyone had their IDs checked at the station. After segregation, some [people] were released, and the rest—a few hundred people, [including myself]—were herded off to the barracks of the Bata [Shoe] Factory. There, the men were again separated from the women and we were led in groups to the station, where a Gestapo man wrote down our personal details and asked what party we belonged to before the war. Some [of us] were released during the day, and the rest, as far as I know, were deported to the camp. As far as I know, on this day several trains from different directions were detained in this way. I was released after a few days.

This is my testimony.
