Szlamek Report

The so-called Szlamek Report is a text written in 1942 by Jewish underground fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto, and deposited there in the ghetto’s unofficial archive, where it was found after the war. The text describes in diary form alleged experiences made at the Chełmno Camp during a fictitious inmate’s stay there for ten days. Some orthodox scholars attribute the text to a certain Jakov Grojanowski, others to a certain Szlojme Fajner. But the text itself only has the name Szlamek on it.
