After the liquidation of the Kraków ghetto, I was, on 13 March 1943, placed at the Zwangsarbeitslager [forced labor camp] in Płaszów, later changed into a concentration camp. In April 1944, I was transferred again to the enamel factory in Kraków Zabłocie, where I remained until August 1944.
At that time, Luise Danz took up a post at the enamel factory; she was an SS-Aufseherin [overseer], whom I clearly recognize in the photograph attached to the records with the Detainee’s Personal Record Sheet. However, I cannot tell if the photograph presented to me of a woman wearing a sweater with a light collar, attached to the records, depicts suspect Luise Danz.
While at the enamel factory, the said person conducted herself in a calm fashion and did not beat or abuse anybody. However, after I was moved to the Płaszów camp in August 1944, Luise Danz, whom I also came across there, changed out of all recognition. She became cruel, beating female prisoners for no reason whatsoever to the point that they bled. She particularly had it in for Adela Sterngast, an acquaintance of mine, with whom she had an argument going all the way back to the time at the enamel factory, where Sterngast had previously worked. I witnessed Danz beat Sterngast several times.
Due to the passage of time, I cannot provide the exact dates; in any case it was between August and October 1944. Danz beat Sterngast with a leather whip to the point of bleeding, threw her to the ground and kicked her. We thought that Sterngast, as a result of Danz’s persecution, would not make it through the Płaszów camp and that she would kill herself. Also during roll calls, Danz harrowed prisoners a lot and never missed an opportunity to beat at least a couple of them. She also beat female prisoners as they walked to labor sites. After I was moved to Auschwitz, I lost track of Luise Danz.
I have testified about all instances known to me of suspect Luise Danz’s abusing prisoners at the Płaszów camp.
At this the report was concluded and read out.
