Having spent 25 years in the police dealing with all kinds of injuries and assaults, I have to say something about the exaggerated testimony quoted here. Please, I usually refrain from commenting on nonsense like this, but this one beggars belief. He was ordered to go away, and as the man turned, he pulled out his revolver, firing into the back of the man’s head." Covered in blood, with a split head, he went off the table, approaching Göth, he reported he had received his penalty. The beating of that man continued uninterrupted, then pouring of water and beating again. Göth approached him, picked up half a brick off the ground, went to the table on which the man was being beaten, and from a very close distance struck him on the head with the brick, splitting his head. Göth shouted at him to calm down, to count. In the course of all this, one man screamed terribly. As anyone went off the table, he was virtually one bloody mass of cut flesh.Įveryone getting off the table was ordered to report standing to attention, I report humbly that I have received my sentence. And so the beatings went on and on, the tables were covered in blood, as every hit meant a fresh cut in someone’s flesh. It was impossible, being hit so many times, to count properly, people were making mistakes, and the beatings were starting afresh. The whip would be passed to another SS man there. We were not beaten by one person, they were taking turns, as one man would tire very quickly, having to hit someone 100 times with full strength. Every prisoner had to count every strike loudly, if a mistake was made in the count by him, the beating started afresh from number one. Göth ordered that everyone should receive 100 times each, but everyone received more than 200 and even 300. Two tables were brought, also buckets of water, and they started beating us directly on naked flesh. We were then taken to the back, next to the house he lived in. "Göth ordered his deputy to start beating us. įormer prisoner Henryk Bloch testified at Göth’s trial in 1946: Possibly a little breath still remained in him. The Camp Commandant had two dogs, Ralf and Rolf, and he set the dogs on him. He was summoned by the Camp Commandant Amon Goeth. :"The case of Olmer, whose daughter lives in Jerusalem, and I know her. What is fact is that he let his dogs eat prisoners alive and would set them on prisoners for his amusement, that he shot children for sport from his balcony, and that he personally executed prisoners.
