SALOMON EDELMANN

Fuerth, 25 February 1946

Salomon Edelmann, born on 28 May 1920 in Łódź, residing in Fuerth, at Feldstrasse 25, testified under oath as follows:

I was a prisoner in the underground Janina mine [for] 17 months (no. 141969), and I knew Józef Schwierzek there.

I remember well one time when Schwierzek beat a certain Hungarian so hard that he died the following morning. Schwierzek’s methods were so cruel that a certain SS-Oberscharführer reprimanded him for his cruelty. He told Schwierzek: These people are assigned to work, not to be beaten.
