Sonia Nothman - January 4, 1983

Was there any kind of religious activity in the camps, in the barracks where you were in the camp?

No, in the beginning when they took us, I remember when it was Easter. Lots of people remember. So they didn't eat bread, so they eat potatoes. They sold the bread, potatoes. I could never eat meat. I mean, they didn't give us meat, meat. Who would sell meat? Especially by us, it was a very poor. But they put maybe horse meat in the soup, sometime. But I took it out and I give it away. I could not eat. I couldn't eat. Never.

Was there a difference between the SS and the Wehrmacht guards?

Yeah. Oh yeah, of course, of course. But then you have the, from Ukraine, oh they were so bad. Those-they didn't have their own-the Germans at the end. I remember, very bad.

The Ukrainians were?

Yeah, very bad.
