I was detained in Ravensbrück on 24 May 1940. I was imprisoned there until 28 April 1945. Maria Mandl was already an overseer at Ravensbrück when I got there. She later became senior overseer. Around 1942 she left the camp. She was a notorious sadist who terrorized all prisoners. When she was approaching, prisoners warned each other by whispering that Mandl was coming, and everyone was quiet. She always walked around with a whip, beating and kicking prisoners all over the body. For instance, she would beat a prisoner who picked up scraps of food that had been thrown out. She ordered us to strip naked in the frost, and plunged prisoners into cold water.
From 12 to 16 July 1940 I was detained in the camp prison. I heard the screams of women as Mandl beat them in the cells and put them in straitjackets. She also had dogs which she would set on the prisoners.
I remember 16 July 1940, because on that day my hair was cut. On the same day, in the afternoon, between 4.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m., I saw Mandl kick and beat up an elderly lady whose name I don’t know, in the corridor located around the cells in the camp prison. The woman fell on the stone floor because of the beating. Mandl continued to kick her. The old woman did not get up before I left.
We all trembled before Mandl. She never hit me.
The report was read out and concluded.
