Spotted typhus decimated our ranks. And in this monstrous situation here, Stasiek Wartinkuk from Radom, robbed us and disposed of us. He would often beat a few of us unconscious.

At first the Germans seemed so polite and well behaved at Brzezin and Oswiecim, handing out chocolate, honey, and kielbasa to the children. They also strolled with these children. It was merely a sham, and yet these poor kids used to run to these murderers.
