(45) DEPOSITION OF LADISLAUS JUDKOVITZ (Czech)

3. There was a Kapo called Schlomoivicz. He has been brought into the room and I recognise him. He was a beastly man. I have seen him hit people, always men, with a long piece of wood. Particularly have I seen him do this at Belsen. The camp was very overcrowded and some amount of shoving and pushing and even perhaps hitting with the hand was necessary by the Kapos to maintain order, but this man went far beyond anything that was necessary. I only once saw a man bleed as a result of beating by Schlomoivicz. An elderly man on one occasion fainted as a result of a beating. I have seen Schlomoivicz hit men, including old and sick men, with a piece of wood all over the body and also across the head.
