Concerning the clearing-up work, I state in addition that the
Hungarian women, when carrying the bricks, were walking and definitely not
running, nor were they driven in anyway. We supervisors numbered about 10-12.
We stood close by, but not, to be sure, lined up in a row along which they had
to pass; there were not so many of us supervisors as that anyhow. On the
contrary, we supervisors repeatedly took part in the clearing-up work at one
time or other. Incidentally, I saw myself that the huts in the Humboldtstrasse
camp were heated.
