at Lindfort (Kreis Moors). The foreign workers were also given seats
for the cinema shows and vaudeville performances given at the plant.
We
were always able to provide special food on high holidays. I also saw to it
that religious ministrations were available as far as possible. For instance,
the Polish workers were regularly taken care of by a priest of the Catholic St.
Peter’s Vicarage, who could speak Polish, and an Italian priest conducted
regular services in the camp for the Italians. I notified the camp of the
schedule of religious services of the local Catholic and Protestant churches,
as some of the workers attended these services. The Ukrainians attended the
Catholic services though this was not regarded as desirable from the political
elements. |
