[1.] Rank, name and surname of the interviewee:
Rifleman Jerzy Klahr
[2.] The expulsion of the civilian population. Its course and conditions:
During roundups, the police would come at night, give the arrestees a dozen or so minutes to get packed, and transport them in cars to the train station where they had to wait, sometimes even for a few days.
[3.] Methods of interrogating and torturing the arrestee during investigation:
If the arrestee was kept on charges of espionage or membership in some organization, he would frequently be beaten, starved, kept in cold basements etc.
[4.] Court procedures, ruling in absentia, ways of delivering verdicts (particularly desirable are full texts of judgments):
I was tried by the military division (in Kowel), without a lawyer. Generally speaking, I was tried by one man, who relied on forced confessions. Reasons for the judgement: membership in a Polish nationalist organization, “Poland is not yet lost”.
[5.] Cases of people who were murdered during their march, during their deportations, during their stay in prison or during their work as forced laborers:
In the prison in Kowel, on 13 December 1940, Lieutenant Onyszkiewicz, a railway stationmaster from Zdołbunów, died before my very eyes due to exhaustion and the lack of air.
[8.] Life in prisons:
The conditions in the prison in Kowel were horrible: it was cramped beyond description and we were badly treated. It was even worse in the transports. During the 23-day journey from Kharkiv to Ukhta I received only 400 grams of moldy bread, and rarely some water. The conditions were much better in the Lukyanivska prison in Kiev, in the ward for political prisoners.
