29 February 1944 | In Block 11 in Auschwitz I a session of the German Police Court-martial of the Kattowitz Gestapo took place, during which 163 Poles, sent from the prison in Myslovitz several days before, were sentenced to death.
During this session, 23 people were condemned to imprisonment in Auschwitz, and the session lasted six hours. Among the sentenced were also 41 people who had already been prisoners of Auschwitz from autumn 1943. All sentenced to death were driven to crematorium IV in Birkenau
According to testimony, a young woman stepped forward & said, that all those present were clear about the fact that they were about to die in a gas chamber & be burnt in the crematorium, but that the times in which these crimes could be committed in secret were now past.
“Today the entire world knows what is going on in Auschwitz & for every person murdered here the Germans will have to pay dearly” – she said.
Finally, she said she was leaving the world convinced that an end to these crimes was not far away.

While entering the crematorium people sentenced to death sang the Polish national anthem “Poland is not yet lost”.
