As regards the present case, I am aware of the following facts: Concerning the present case I would like to explain that the camp was set up by the German occupation authorities in 1942, however I do not know in which month. The camp was liquidated in 1944, in light of the approach of the front.
In the main, sons of peasants and workmen were kept in the camp. There were no foreigners in the camp. The detainees were primarily Poles. On average, there were some 300 men at the facility. Some 3,000 people passed through the camp during the period of its existence. The camp was finally liquidated by the German authorities; some of the people escaped therefrom, while others were deported to perform various types of labor. The prisoners worked at breaking and loading stone.
The food that we received in the camp was terrible. There was an infirmary at the camp, or at least it was specified in the instruction, but in practice the sick would go to work all the same. The youth workers, having insufficient food, would take the train to find some, even though usually they would not be given passes to do so. The gendarmes would frequently catch those without passes, and they would be shot – a dozen or so at a time – along the Kielce–Częstochowa track.
A few prisoners were also executed by the gendarmes in Łopuszno for collaborating with the partisans and pilfering the camp warehouses; I do not know where exactly their bodies lie. No death sentences were carried out at the camp. Instead, people would be beaten hard and locked up in the bunker. Work in the camp was very hard, for the Germans demanded the utmost productivity. Paradoxically, the inspector, a German, took the side of the prisoners, while the owner and director of the plant, engineer Tadeusz Naszalski, required everyone to work harder and made terrible scenes, saying that we were not working diligently enough; he also dressed down his own assistants, instructing them to guard us better. Since I was a prisoner at the camp, I heard and saw all of this. No material evidence has survived at the camp. The “Baud” inspector was one Howbar, and I do not know any other surnames. The Vorarbeiters at the camp were Julian Przygodzki, resident in Kielce, and thereafter Ryszard Zając, resident in Oblęgór, commune of Mniów, district of Kielce.
I have recounted all that I know and signed the present document after it was read out.
