A floating penal camp? Or perhaps a concentration camp where prisoners were experimented on? Why do we know so little about it, and what really happened on board? “While staying on Bremerhaven, I was an eyewitness to three prisoner executions by hanging. One prisoner was executed for possessing bread he had received from a German. The second—probably for having relations with a German woman. In my opinion, this reason was hardly credible—we were under strict surveillance, and there were no women in the area where our ship was moored. The third executed prisoner was a sailor from Gdańsk. The executions took place at several-month intervals.” This is an excerpt from the testimony of Anastazy Budysz, a prisoner working at the synthetic gasoline factory in Police. While much has been written about the factory itself, little is still known about the SS Bremerhaven camp, which was located on a pre-war German merchant ship moored on the shores of the Police Łąki island. Today’s episode was created in collaboration with regional historian Jacek Stasiak from the Association of Friends of the Police Region “Skarb.” The material was filmed in the “Skarb” Historical Museum in Police: https://skarbpolice.pl Sources: 1.
