Our today’s interviewee:
Leszek Żukowski (born 1929) fought in the Warsaw Uprising. The Germans captured him in the Old Town. He left Warsaw as a civilian and was sent to the concentration camp in Flossenbürg. First, he was subjected to a brutal body search and given a prisoner number. Then there was a bath and quarantine, which served not to prevent any diseases, but to eliminate as many prisoners as possible. During quarantine, the prisoners did not work, but they were forced to stand for an entire day for a roll-call. Going to the bathroom was especially dangerous. Everything had to be done on command and all physiological needs had to be taken care of in one minute. If a person failed to do his business within that time, the Germans tossed him into the toilet ditch, where he would drown in excrement. The body was pulled out in the evening and the deceased would take part in his last roll-call. Leszek Żukowski managed to move into another, safer block, but the images he saw haunt him to this day.
