[1] 1. Three Jewish boys sent by the Labour Battalion682 to Szucha Avenue (Gestapo). Their task consisted in transferring various foodstuffs from one camp to another. Before and after the work they were given splendid meals. Additionally, each of them received 2 kg of pork fat, 2 kg of rice, 2 kg of sugar, canned foods, etc. Before they went home it turned out that one of them had stolen a small bottle of vodka. All of them were held accountable, even though these three young men had been sent there together completely by coincidence, and they did not even know each other. They were cruelly beaten and then sent to Pawiak. After a couple of violent interrogations they were all sent “for transportation”, i.e., to Auschwitz.683
2. A Gruppenleiter684 from the Labour Battalion, a German refugee, suggested to the German officer who dealt with putting the Gerlach factory back in order, that they sell a couple of engines, and to share the received money between them. The officer agreed. The Jew was caught while taking the engines into the city. At the Gestapo he defended himself in a beautiful German, saying that he was a very poor man and only wanted to provide for his wife and child. He did not denounce the officer. He was released.
3. Y. B. demanded a debt of 500 zlotys from a Christian woman. Wanting to extricate herself from her obligations she informed on him: that he had requested that she allow him to listen to the radio for the price of 500 zlotys. Y. B. was arrested. He was held in Pawiak for 3 months—tortured— “transport”.685
