DescriptionFive page typed testimony addressed to the public prosecutor Mr Dederichs, in which Eva Nagler (nee Ginat), outlines her experiences.
Eva Nagler (nee Ginat) was born in 1926 in Lodz, Poland. “In winter of 1939-40 as a Jew I was, together with my family, forced to move to the Lodz (Litzmannstadt) ghetto. In late 1944 we were taken to Auschwitz concentration camp…” Her mother Estera Ginat, aged 49, her sister Sonia Szach (nee Ginat) aged about 27, and Eva were “selected to the right”. They stayed in Auschwitz for several days before being sent to Stutthof; she was there for several weeks and still there on her 18th birthday, 28 October. In one of the daily selections she was chosen with a group of other girls to move to another section of the camp. Later that day her sister joined. She never saw her mother again. The same or next day, in a group of about 1000 girls, they were sent by train to Schippenbail, East Prussia.
