Tag #111123 - Interview #79527 (Maria Ziemna)

In Majdanek my mom worked at the food distribution for Jews, she saw horrible things there. And Father came down with the spotted typhus. And there was, for example, prince Radziwill [a member of a well known Polish aristocratic family] with Father, who used to get great parcels and shared them with prisoners. Besides Father knew German and was a so-called Schreiber [German for writer] on the block, thanks to that he managed somehow. My mom also knew German, but because she was almost deaf, she couldn’t deal with such things. She survived by being very inconspicuous.
