Scope & content
1 page, single-sided. Folded once vertically. Document is a notarized excerpt of a German employment record book for foreigners (Arbeitsbuch für Ausländer). It states in German that Karol Stefan Barszczy?ski was an Eastern worker (Ostarbeiter) in Dünen, East Prussia. The second paragraph attests in Polish that this is a copy of the original document, and that this copy was issued July 5, 1945. Narrative: The donor, Aba Beer, under the false identity of Karol Stefan Barszczy?ski, worked in Eastern Prussia as a Polish forced laborer. Based on the date and location of this notarized document, it is probable that he obtained it upon returning to his hometown after liberation, possibly to obtain compensation and/or documentation, or to faciliate repatriation. Aba was born in 1922 in Bielsko, Poland. In 1939, he moved east with his parents and sister, settling in Przemy?l. In the summer of 1942, he was included on a transport of 1000 Jews to work as slave labourers in the Janowska concentration camp, near Lviv. He escaped and pretending to be Polish, volunteered to go to Germany as a labourer. He worked in a restaurant in East Prussia until January 1944, when he was arrested for not wearing his badge. He was imprisoned in a castle in Ragnit, and then interned in a prisoner-of-war camp for Russian soldiers. He escaped the camp, joined the Polish partisans as a member of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), and was liberated in Hela, May 1945.
