Documenting nazi crimes in Majdanek
-
I guess two men were interested in me.
-
One of them was an economist,
-
his last name was very strange - by the way he was Armenian and not Russian - Jekatow, the husband of Muta Dziewicka,
-
who offered me to work in the offices, in the economics office in PKWN.
-
And just after a moment professor Syngalewicz came to me, he was the professor of forensic medicine
-
and offered me to work with him in the Majdanek committee.
-
I took this offer.
-
We were travelling, watching and making notes, all things which were important enough we made notes about,
-
for example a story like this – we are going through the field,
-
there was supposed to be cabbage but were only dried stalks,
-
the ground was creaking and giving way under our feet.
-
Those were human bones,
-
it was the rest from the crematorium,
-
everything from there was emptied out there and dug up and then they planted cabbage there.
-
Then we came closer to the crematorium.
-
There were parts of bodies, some of them prepared to be taken to the chamber.
-
People were put in a row, gunshot in the back of the neck", the bodies were brown.
-
They did not look horrible, they were brown,
-
the smell was disgusting, it was such a hot day, August, in the middle of August in 1944.
