Szlama Dragon
Most of the Auschwitz atrocities are witnessed by two individuals, both Jews: Szlama Dragon and Henryk Tauber.
Dragon testified at Oลwiฤcim, 10 and 11 May 1945. District Investigating Judge Jan Sehn from Krakรณw. Sehn was a member of the Commission for the Investigation of German and Nazi Crimes in Oลwiฤcim.
Presented are some testimony to the court by Dragon.
โThe selection of people for cremation was the responsibility of the SS fascist
Mengele, a doctor, and SS [man] Mol [Moll], who directed the mass cremation
of people arriving from various countries and of various nationalities, regardless of gender and age.โ (S2)
โI arrived in Oลwiฤcim on 7 December 1942 by train, in a transport of 2,500
Jews of different genders and ages from the Mลawa Ghetto. At the station, this
transport was received by Lagerfรผhrer Plage, Raportfรผhrer Palitsch and Camp
Physician Mengele. Already at the station, they carried out the selection, separating the women and children into one group, the men into another.โ
Fact: Mengele was transferred to Auschwitz only on 30 May 1943 and could not be present at the selection process described by Dragon. Dragon claims to have known Mengele so could not have mistaken another doctor for him. The statement below is also false for the same reason.
April 43 โFrom a window in the heating room, I observed how the โCyklonโ was
poured into the gas chamber. Each transport was followed by a car bearing
the insignia of the Red Cross. The Camp Doctor Mengele and Rottenfรผhrer
Scheimetz arrived in this car at the crematorium.โ
Dragon works in the crematoria but falls ill.
โAfter working one day in Gas Chamber No. 2, I became ill, so I was assigned
to cleaning and other work in Barracks No. 2. I worked in the barracks until
May 1943, and then I was assigned to the job of collecting bricks from the
brick basements and brick half-basements that had been blown up by the Germans. I worked there until February 1944; at the same time, I worked in Gas
Chamber No. 2, for about two months, a few days in Gas Chamber No. 1.โ
(S4)
โIn February 1944 I was sent to work in Crematorium No. 4.โ
to cleaning and other work in Barracks No. 2. I worked in the barracks until
May 1943, and then I was assigned to the job of collecting bricks from the
brick basements and brick half-basements that had been blown up by the Germans. I worked there until February 1944; at the same time, I worked in Gas
Chamber No. 2, for about two months, a few days in Gas Chamber No. 1.โ
(S4)
โIn February 1944 I was sent to work in Crematorium No. 4.โ
While all other sick people were given the customary shot to the nape of the neck, this person convalesces for 5 months. To frank this would not gel with many people. Dragon states in his Polish interrogation that:
โIn the fall of the same year [1943], I was again employed by the Sonderkommando. In between my work at the bunkers [and his reassignment to the Sonderkommando] I was employed in the Abbruchkommando [Demolition
Squad].โ
Squad].โ
He said above that he collected bricks until 1944 but then says to the Polish Investigator that about October 43 he was employed as sonderkommando and demolition squad. Seems this man cannot get his story correct.
He mentions the sonderkommando housing
โwas enclosed and surrounded by a wall to isolate it from the other blocks.
We were not allowed to communicate with the inmates in another block.โ
We were not allowed to communicate with the inmates in another block.โ
This person would not allowed to communicate but at the same time was
sonderkommando and the demolition squad; this contradicts the no communication policy.
The lies continue.
