Summary/Abstract: The article cites unknown accounts from the investigation and the first trial of more than a dozen functionaries from the Stutthof camp tried in Gdansk in the spring of 1946. The fate of the Jews at Stutthof was among the most important threads of the investigation, but the interesting materials collected at the time have not entered academic circulation. A unique feature of the Gdańsk trial was the presence at the trial of former Jewish inmates of KL Stutthof, men and women who recounted their experiences and observations. The article quotes and comments on some unknown early Jewish testimonies about the camp, given immediately after the war. The text is an extended discussion of the sources.
