I stayed in the camp in Płaszów from 1943 to August 1944. In 1944, defendant Alice Orlowski, whose name was already known to me at the time, was assigned to that camp as an overseer. Orlowski was a terror of the camp inmates. Wherever she appeared, all prisoners tried to get out of her sight. It was because the defendant used to beat and torture the prisoners and also set a dog on them. It was widely known that the defendant was always tipsy. One could infer from her behavior and the way she treated the inmates that beating prisoners was her sole occupation. I witnessed her beat prisoners every single day, both during and after the roll call.
