We have to reflect that the deportation of Korczak and his Orphanage was remembered by many as the final signal about the destruction of Warszawas Ghetto. Numerous people described it. However, in most cases they never saw the deportation of Dom Sierot and they witness the deportation of other orphanages. Of course Dom Sierot deportation was from Sienna/Sliska str, through the gate at 9 Sliska street. "Dom Sierot from Krochmalna street" was often used during ghetto time, even by Korczak, as a kind of identification.

The document above is part of a series of interviews with former prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. The interviews were conducted in 1945-1946 by the Polish Research Institute in Lund.
About the collection: At the end of World War II approximately 20,000 Nazi concentration camp prisoners were evacuated to Sweden. Many of them were Polish citizens. In order to document their experiences, Zygmunt Łakociński founded the Polish Research Institute in Lund. The collection contains 512 in-depth interviews with survivors, materials that they brought with them to Sweden, and also other material that the institute collected, compiled, and created.
