Scope and Content
Testimony of Abraham R., 20 year old from Lomza. He tells of the German bombardments of Lomza and noted a single Jewish casualty, then tells of his own deportation to a detainee-camp in Rastenburg, Germany (now Ketrzyn, Poland), where about 1300 Jews were held without food. Each night the prisoners received a loaf of bread per 4 men, and no more. He describes how on arrival of Polish prisoners, the Germans and Poles took the Jews' clothes, and how three men died because they couldn't handle the cold, hunger and disease. he was in the camp for three weeks, and was freed eventually together with a thousand men, and crossed the Soviet border. Lomza was by then held by the Russians.Protocol No. 102 is an extract from a volume of protocols /statements provided by a group of Polish-Jewish refugee writers and journalists who fled to Vilnius, Lithuania. In 1939 they formed a committee to collect evidence on the condition of the Jews in Poland.
