Record of Witness Testimony 206 POLISH SOURCE INSTITUTE IN LUND Malmö, 5 March 1946 Testimony received by Institute Assistant Krystyna Karier transcribed Record of Witness Testimony 206 Here stands Mr Bolesław Pampuch born on 24 March 1909 in Jarząbkowo, Gniezno Powiat , occupation butcher religion Roman Catholic , parents’ forenames Kasper, Eleonora last place of residence in Poland Gniezno current place of residence – ″ – who – having been cautioned as to the importance of truthful testimony as well as to the responsibility for, and consequences of, false testimony – hereby declares as follows: [note] labour [/note] I was interned at the concentration camp in Blechhammer [present-day Blachownia Śląska, Poland] from May 1942 to 23 June 1943 as a political prisoner bearing the number – and wearing a ‘P’ badge -coloured triangle with the letter [not completed] I was later interned in Organisation Todt [a German engineering group] labour camps (Germany and Norway) from 16 August 1943 to the German surrender in 1945. Bolesław Pampuch Asked whether, with regard to my internment and my labour at the concentration camp, I possess any particular knowledge about how the camp was organized, how prisoners were treated, their living and working conditions, medical and pastoral care, the hygienic conditions in the camp, or any particular events concerning any aspect of camp life, I state as follows: The testimony consists of five and a half pages of handwriting and describes the following: 1. Year-long stint at labour camp in Blechhammer – layout of camp, diet, treatment; prisoners in striped uniforms and Jews – treatment. ‘AL’ – that is, the penal column [labour detail, from Ger. Kolonne]. Punishments administered in AL – acts of provocation by the Germans. Discharge from the camp. 2. Return to Gniezno and employment with the same company that ran the camp in Blechhammer. Germans’ treatment of Poles in Gniezno and surrounding area. Being sent away to work a second time. 3. Month-long stint at a camp in Berlin; discipline. 4. Working at a country estate in Waldsee, Pomerania. 5. Voyage to Norway and assignment to labour camp in Mørsvik – road-building work. Difference between how Austrians and Reichsdeutschers [ethnic Germans from the Reich] treated Poles. How the Germans treated Russian POWs who were in a neighbouring camp. BLOM’S PRINTING, LUND 1945 6. Poles gathered at a camp in Narvik after the German surrender – approximately 1,000 people. [stamp] POLISH SOURCE INSTITUTE IN LUND [/stamp] [stamp] POLISH SOURCE INSTITUTE IN LUND [/stamp] Testimony of Mr Bolesław Pampuch, born on 24 March 1909 in Jarząbkowo, Gniezno Powiat In May 1942, the Germans captured me in the street during a round-up. Along with twenty other men, I was transported to a place called Blechhammer in Germany [present-day Blachownia Śląska, Poland], where a war industry factory was being constructed. There were already about 1,000 Poles there when we arrived. In the camp we were placed in, there were approximately 30,000 people of various nationalities. The camp was set in woodland and divided into sections, each of which had its own name: Wiesenlager, Waldlager, Bahnhoflager [lit. ‘Meadow Camp’, ‘Woodland Camp’, ‘Railway Station Camp’, respectively (Ger.)] The Poles were put with the Jews, although the Jews were fenced off from us (we were merely in adjacent areas). We Poles, however, were free to move about the camp, but only until 8 p.m. We got up at 5 a.m. Without any Appell [roll call assembly, Ger.], we would march out to work – six kilometres. The Jews were guarded by the Gestapo, whereas we walked freely, wearing a lilac-coloured ‘P’ against a yellow background with lilac border on our left shoulder. We worked ten to twelve hours per day on the factory building site. At work, we were treated badly; we were beaten and called ‘polnische Bande’ [Polish riff-raff, Ger.]. After returning to the camp, we would have dinner at six, six thirty and then go to bed. A full day’s ration consisted of half a kilogram of bread, twenty grams of margarine or marmalade, and one litre of soup (made from swedes or cabbage – extremely watery). We had to pay ten [pfennigs] for the soup, since we were paid for our work: twenty marks per week. We lived twenty men to a Stube [room, Ger.]. Conditions were very cramped and filthy, and we were plagued by vermin – bedbugs. We slept in separate beds; each bed had a crude stuffed mattress and two blankets. Working alongside us were Polish prisoners who wore striped uniforms. They were kept under guard and treated worse, like Jews. Both the Jews and striped prisoners were bound by regulations prescribing that any man who strayed so much as ten metres from his place of work be shot dead. By then, the striped prisoners were already in a state of utter exhaustion. I saw one man who could hardly walk being held up and guided to work. We weren’t permitted to go near the prisoners. Once, when a Jew died at work, a machine that was excavating sand buried him on the order of one of the Gestapo men guarding us. On 24 July 1943, an inspection was carried out in the Jewish section: the weak were directed onto a train, and the stronger ones were left behind to work. Some of those who were herded onto the train were so weak that their comrades had to take them in carts or carry them on their backs. Approximately 200 Jews were taken. They were reportedly transported to Auschwitz. Within the camp was what was called ‘AL’ – the equivalent of a penal column [labour detail, from Ger. Kolonne]. If anyone failed to go to work for two days, the company doing the construction work would report this to Bauleitung [lit. ‘construction management’, Ger.], which administered punishment by assigning the person avoiding work (regardless if due to illness) to AL. This consisted of two or three blocks surrounded by a wire fence. There were usually about 300 people inside. Anyone in excess of 300 would be sent away to complete their punishment at Auschwitz. Stints in AL usually lasted from six to twelve weeks. A punishment that was issued within AL itself was food deprivation. Men who were assigned there would keep their own clothing; they received only a triangle on their back and an armband round their sleeve. The armband was white or yellow. The triangles on prisoners’ backs made it easier to aim at them in the event of escape. The way they were treated in AL was terrible. Prisoners who had been beaten would have to go to work. I myself saw a Russian being helped along to work. He was no longer capable of walking on his own – his face was mutilated. At one point, this Russian threw himself under a factory train and was killed on the spot. In addition to this, from a fellow inmate who slept next to me and who had left AL, I learned the following. A certain Pole once reported that he was ill and unable to go to work. Immediately after this declaration, he was given lashes which he had to count aloud. If he miscounted, the flogging started all over again. After the lashes, water was poured over the sick man and then he was sent to the block. The same punishment was repeated that evening and the following day when he once again declared that he was sick and unable to go to work; that evening, too, he was beaten once more. At every beating, water was poured over him. When he was released, the man, as though unconscious, made his way towards the gate in the hope of escaping. A Gestapo man took hold of his rifle and shot him dead. The open gate was a provocation used by the Gestapo, who wanted prisoners to attempt escape, thereby providing a pretext to shoot and kill them. Often the Gestapo would throw a prisoner’s cap over the wire fence and then tell him to fetch it. Whenever any of the AL prisoners tried to retrieve their cap from beyond the fence, they would be shot where they stood. The labour camp in Blechhammer was forty kilometres from Katowice – on the German side. At one point, I couldn’t work due to exhaustion, and they sent me to the main medical commission in Cosel [Koźle, Pol.] so that the head doctor might determine whether or not I was feigning. There, I was declared sick and discharged. Here is the certificate discharging me from the camp, issued by Arbeitsamt Ratibor – Aussenstelle Blechhammer [Racibórz Labour Bureau – Blechhammer Branch]: Arbeitsamt Ratibor Aussenstelle Blechhammer Blechhammer, den 23. Juni 1943 II Blech. 5409/43 Fr./Fr.

While living at home, I worked on the railway. After two months, they sent a card to my house summoning me to the company’s office. There, they told us that they were sending us away to work for three months; we would come back when the three months were up.

MARIE EMANUELSSON1 Department of Forest Vegetation Ecology Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences SE – 901 83 Umeå ULF SEGERSTRÖM Department of Forest Vegetation Ecology Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences SE – 901 83 Umeå ABSTRACT The general view in Swedish historiography of an inherent conflict between iron-making and the practice of slash-and-burn is questioned on the basis of this palaeoecological case study of repeated slash-and-burn cultivation from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries in the mining district of central Sweden. An alternative thesis of a mutual association between iron-making and the practice of slash-and-burn is put forward. Deliberately used by the mining peasant, slash-and-burn was a way to turn forest resources into cereals, animal fodder and charcoal for iron-making. However, the initial practice of slash-and- burn ceased after c.

These investigations have revealed sedimentary evidence of the Yoldia Sea regression, the Ancient Lake Vättern transgression, and the following stepwise river formation process. Around 9000 cal BC, two small kettlehole basins at Strandvägen and Kanaljorden became isolated from the Baltic basin. As the ice sheet retreated further north, the isostatic uplift isolated the Vättern basin from the Baltic basin. Due to the uneven isostatic uplift, the basin tilted toward the south, and the Ancient Lake Vättern transgression started in Motala. The threshold in Motala at 92.5 m a.s.l. was reached around 7200 cal BC, and River Motala Ström was formed.

However, widely used global datasets are developed for continental-to-global scale analysis and simulations and the accuracy of global datasets depends on the verification of more regional reconstruction results. In this study, based on the 20 collected statistics of cropland area of each administrative unit (Parish/ Municipality/ County/ Province) in Scandinavia from 1690 to 2015, the cropland area at the administrative unit level was allocated into 30-arc second grid cells. The results indicated that the cropland area increased from 1.81 million ha in 1690 to 7.10 million ha in 1950, then decreased to 6.02 million ha in 2015.

Den här föreliggande förteckningen är i förhållande till 1987 års upplaga en utökad och àjourförd version. I förteckningen redovisas nu samtliga tidigare köpingar och municipalsamhällen. Vidare har kommun- och länsförändringar t.o.m. 1 januari 1999 införts. Förteckningen återger i huvudsak den territoriella indelningen i städer och socknar före de stora kommunreformerna 1952 och 1962-1973. Den redovisar däremot icke församlingsindelningen. När ATAs topografiska dossierer lades upp 1880, följdes C.M. Rosenbergs Geografiskt-statistiskt handlexikon öfver Sverige (1-2, 1882-83, faksimilutgåva 1-4,1982). Jordebokssocknen, efter 1908 vanligen kallad jordregistersocknen, blev – vid sidan av staden – det grundläggande begreppet, eftersom den ansågs avspegla det förhistoriska och medeltida samhället. Av samma orsak användes landskapet som överordnat begrepp; en fastare administrativ länsindelning tillkom först med 1634 års regeringsform. Jordregistersocknen hade inte alltid samma gränser som kyrkosocknen (landsförsamlingen) eller landskommunen. 1 Vid sekelskiftet 1900 hade emellertid rikets indelningar reglerats, så att registersocknen sammanföll med kyrkosocknen och i de allra flesta fall också med landskommunen.
