A day in Börgermoor
-
We were woken up around 6 a.m., I think.
-
Then everything had to be done fast:
-
make the beds, have a wash, go to the toilet, which was in some sort of shed around the back.
-
Then the food was given out.
-
We got half a litre of soup, the daily ration of bread, a little bit of fat and jam.
-
Brown bread and white bread were mixed.
-
Then there was roll call; all high speed.
-
After that we went out to work, there we had to muster.
-
I used to be at the well draft most of the time.
-
There were about 500 prisoners and they were counted again.
-
We were counted X-times a day.
-
Afterwards in the moor, where we were working,
-
we were counted and around us was the cordon.
-
There was one of them sitting here and there, so they would have an overview.
-
In the evenings, we marched back around 5 o’clock.
-
We were counted again to check if all had come back.
-
After that we went back into the shack.
-
You always had to run to get your supper.
-
Sometimes there were stews, ‘Peluschken’ which were big beans
