Georg Holzel – Ostbahn  "Extract from the Interrogation"

Georg Holzel – Deputy Station Master at Zwierzyniec station in the Lublin District from 1^st September 1941 till November 1942. In your capacity as a railway employee, did you ever have to visit the stations at Belzec and Sobibor?

I was in Sobibor twice, I was frequently in Belzec. I estimate 5-6 times.

What were the names of the station masters at these places?

I know that in Sobibor it was Buckstegg who came from the Kleve area, I do not know his rank, he was in any case the station master. I cannot remember the name of the station master in Belzec. I remember especially about Buckstegg that he used the turn of phrase “Stupid pig,” he ended every telephone conversation with these words.

Did you have any point of contact with the SS-men in Belzec or Sobibor?
