Regarding the present case, I am aware of the following facts. From the beginning until the end of the German occupation, I was in Bliżyn, and I know that in 1941 a detention camp for Russian POWs was established and that it operated till 1942. Over the course of [the existence of] this camp, about 7,000 Soviet POWs were detained there, 6,500 of whom (at the very least) were murdered by the Gestapo, German police, and their crew, which consisted of German “Ukrainians”. They were murdered through starvation; by having [intentionally placed] contaminants in their food such as grass, various leaves, and weeds; as well as through overt beating and abuse.
And in 1942, a detention camp for Jews and Poles was established, which lasted until 1944, and during that time people were murdered through severe beating and food restrictions. Because of this, a large number of people suffered from typhus and other diseases, so that an indefinite number of Jews and Poles were murdered through these diseases and beatings. The average number of people living in the camp was around 4,000.
The report was concluded and read out.
