I was at Ravensbrück from 1940 until 1945. Maria Mandl was an overseer in the remand prison when I arrived, and in 1942 she became the main overseer. She did not serve in this role for a long time because she left for Auschwitz. She was the main overseer for about three or four months. She was one of the most cruel overseers.
In the remand prison she administered corporal punishments that had been set in advance. In addition to this, she beat the female prisoners and kicked them for the smallest reason. In my opinion she was an extreme sadist, the terror of the camp. She gave very severe punishments. As a normal punishment for the smallest involuntary shortcoming she employed hair cutting. She abused [the female prisoners] in a sadistic way at every opportunity. I can give witnesses of Mandl’s actions living in Toruń. These are: 1) Stefania Szalla, living in Toruń on Królowej Jadwigi Street (drug store); she was in the camp under her maiden name, Barałukiewicz
2) Cecylia Zelek, living in Toruń at Franciszkańska Street 14.
In addition to the named witnesses I can [also] mention Halina Bella, living in Racibor forest district, post office Świętajno, Szczytno district (olsztyńskie voivodeship). She worked in the camp office and can therefore probably say more.
I have testified everything.
