I was detained in the Auschwitz camp from 14 June 1940 to 9 September 1944. During that time, starting from January 1941, I worked for a year underneath the officers’ canteen as a kitchen helper and had no contact with SS men, so I know nothing about them. I met camp commandant Hans Aumeier, Detlef Nebbe and one Oswald Kaduk only later, when I was sent to work in the command’s block, where I also distributed meals in the dining room.
Hans Aumeier was Lagerführer [camp leader] and a sadist who personally abused prisoners for the most trivial offences, beating them and kicking all over the body, which I witnessed several times.
Detlef Nebbe was head of the camp command. He was very harsh toward prisoners, especially to two Soviet prisoners whom he could not understand, and whom he frequently beat for this reason. He beat me up three times. The first time was for walking into his room, where he ate his dinners, because I wanted to take the plate away to the dining area after dinner, as I was going to be busy later. He apparently beat me for walking into his room while he wasn’t there. He hit me in the face with his hand several times. The second time I got beaten up was for smoking cigarettes during work hours in the corridor at the command’s barrack. He beat me up the third time for no reason, while he was drunk. I also heard that while he was conducting exercises near the prisoners’ workplace, he would allegedly beat and kick these prisoners, supposedly for working incorrectly.
Oswald Kaduk from the SS was Blockführer [block leader] and later Rapportführer [report leader] from Silesia, from Chorzów. He spoke good Polish and would put on a prisoner uniform. He walked around places where working prisoners had contact with civilians, catching illegal food exchanges between prisoners and working civilians. This is how he caused at least [illegible] civilians to be detained in the camp, while prisoners were punished by being sent to the penal company. The suspect very often, almost daily, walked drunk among prisoners in the streets, firing bullets in the air above and causing prisoners to panic, which made him glad. I heard from former prisoner August Jarnicki, residing at Anny Marii Street in Tarnów, that suspect Kaduk gave him six lashes when a spare item of clothing was found in his bed, and that he beat some veterinarian who took care of the horses in the camp, until the man lost consciousness. On top of that, as Rapportführer he also personally flogged prisoners.
Witness Maliński states that the above mentioned now left for the West in search of a job.
The report was read out and signed.
