/1 Copy. Moravian-Ostrava, 28 September 1943. Memorial protocol. When I left Witkowitzer Bahnhof on Saturday, 25 September 1943 at approx. 6:45 p.m., I went through the railwayblock, carrying suitcases in both hands, accompanied by Fr. Radetzky, and words with her. In about half of the railway barrier I was caught from behind by the shoulder and called "hello, hello ". As I turned around I saw a uniformed cschech. Pol.Organ, which conducted me at my request to speak German with "go ", to a nearby place where suitcases were revised on earth. Then I went there wordlessly and waited for my row. A gentleman in civil, who later played the leading role, carried out the revision of my suitcase and finished me "go already". Since there were threatening calls from the travel audience at my invitation to speak German, I felt compelled to approach the Pol.Organ again and to draw his attention to the basic first use of the German official language. The civil official interfered with this in an excited tone, with "what else do you want, go ahead". I then explained the facts to him. He replied to me: "We speak Czech with the Czechs and if we do not see that one has the badge, we also speak Czech." I replied to him on this statement that the German language was in principle the first to be used in any case. During this Vorganége, I was surrounded by some civilians who expressed their views against me by interrogating me. When I asked if there was a responsible leader here, a poorly German-speaking civilian replied, except for them, no one would be here all the time. Then, suddenly, the above-mentioned civil organ declared to have me arrested and to have my person identified. At the same time, I was caught by two Czech uniforms, police officers roughly under the armpits, and thus deprived of all freedom of movement, without any direct request to perform identification until that moment.On my lively protest against this brutal act, which is devoid of any cause, and my demand to face a German organ, the first civilian official drove by command calls to remove the Pol.Organe to my towing. This scene was joined by the witness Walter M a l i n e r, who among other things with the exclamation "how can you in this way with a German doctor procedure try to bring the officer to the contemplation. From the threshold to the station room my arms were violently bent backwards @bogen and it was called for a fetter, witness Macak. Already in the waiting room, my fists were put in my neck. When I stepped tumbling in front of the Tire after a while, the civil organ yelled at me whether I was drunk, as I was dazed by the neck strokes, apparently tumbling. The skirt and the vest had been torn open for me and my watch had come, which was only handed over by a Czech policeman on several urgent requests, he took them away from me. Mr. Mallener had responded to my constant request for the intervention of a German service organ and distanced himself. •/.
