(60) DEPOSITION OF YILKA MALACHOVSKA (Pole, aged 18)

2. I recognise No. 3 on photograph 19 as an S.S. woman at Auschwitz. I knew her by the name of Bormann and I have now been told that her full name is Juana Bormann. At Auschwitz I worked with my sister, Ida Malachovska, in the same working party. One morning in January, 1943, before going to work, there was a selection at which Rapportführer Tauber was present. He took no part in the selecting. Bormann was one of the S.S. selecting and she chose 50 girls of our working party of 150, and my sister was one of those selected. The rest of us then left the camp to go to work and on our return in the evening, we were entering the gate, 8 or 10 lorries passed us filled with women and girls. The lorries went in the direction of the crematorium, which was situated just outside the camp. I have never seen my sister again or any of the girls selected that morning.
