Fragment of testimony by Bolesław Staron, , former Auschwitz prisoner, Camp number 127829

carved in the plaster, with the help of a spoon, the first and last name as well as that of Mala Zimetbaum, their Camp numbers and dates of their second incarceration at Auschwitz (after capturing the two of them near the Slovak border): on the 6th of July, 1944. He was even able to do this in complete darkness. (…) Out of cell number 18 – the same that I left it, albeit a bit earlier than I – they also took Edek Galiński; and it was only after the end of the War, that I found out about the dramatic circumstances that surrounded his death in Birkenau, where Mala was also killed.
