IN THE CLAWS OF THE GESTAPO<br />

By Chane Achtman (Kroyt)<br />

During the dark days of the war and the extermination<br />

of the Jews, I stayed for a time at the home<br />

of a Polish woman in Warsaw. My forged documents<br />

listed me as a pure Aryan. One day I heard<br />

a loud knock on the door of the apartment of this<br />

woman and a loud voice ordered, "Open up!"<br />

Two fat SS men entered, told me to get dressed,<br />

and ordered me to go with them to the Gestapo<br />

office on Szuch Avenue, a place from which no<br />

Jew had ever returned. I had no reason to oppose<br />

them. I tried to explain that there had been a<br />

mistake, in view of the fact that I was a Christian,<br />

and I showed them my identity papers to prove<br />

that I was Anna Maria Zawadzka. But it was of no<br />

use. They led me away by force.<br />

On the way to the Gestapo, the SS men<br />

suggested I go with them into a coffee house, but<br />

I answered angrily that I would not go to any<br />

Aryan identity card under the name Anna Maria Zawadzka, used by Chane Kroyt. (Document is dated January<br />

18, 1943.)<br />
