We worked in the huge Buna plant, to which we were herded each morning about 3 a.m. At midday our food consisted of potato and turnip soup, and in the evening we received some bread. During work we were terribly mistreated. As our working place was situated outside the large chain of sentry posts, it was divided into small sectors of 10 x 10 meters, each guarded by an SS man. Whoever stepped outside these squares during working hours was immediately shot without warning for having “attempted to escape.” Often it happened that out of pure spite an SS man would order a prisoner to fetch some given object outside his square. If he followed the order, he was shot for having left his assigned space . . . Very few could bear the strain and although escape seemed hopeless, attempts were made every day. The result was several hangings a week.20
