I met suspect Medefind in Birkenau in 1942. He was the head of the food warehouse at the time. He distributed provisions to prisoners, and that is how I met him. I started working at the food warehouse in 1943. Every day I collected food for prisoners from Medefind. He did not give out food meant for prisoners in accordance with the regulations. Instead of butter for children, he issued margarine, instead of wheat flour – rye flour. Medefind obeyed the camp rules very closely and punished prisoners harshly by [illegible] or [illegible] them. He demonstrated his hatred for the Poles at every opportunity, tormenting them whenever he could. Sometimes when it was raining, Medefind would forbid the workers who came to collect food from hiding from the rain. He ordered them to stand at attention for hours. He once brutally beat me for failing to maintain the norms connected with food the way he instructed me. This was in August 1944.
I frequently saw Medefind beat prisoners for the slightest offences. Especially in the spring of 1944, he ordered workers to stand outside in the rain for about three hours. In June 1944, when transports of Jews from Hungary arrived at the camp, Medefind ordered to take the food [illegible] by the Jews away from them and distribute it among prisoners in such a way that [illegible].
In the spring of 1944 Medefind beat a Jew named Jankiel – I don’t know his surname – and did it so hard that despite being strongly built, the Jew couldn’t walk for two days. Presently, I cannot provide the names of people who could testify on the subject of Medefind’s conduct. I would like to add that the majority of the prisoners who worked under Medefind’s supervision were Russian prisoners of war.
The report was read out.
