Johann KULAKOWSKI, born in county Rypin (PL) on 23.11.1898, residing in Skrwilno/Rypin
„Selbstschutz“ (entry in „Sachverhalt“)
I’m not sure about his fate and identity. The sources below somehow don’t seem to go together.
According to his Arolsen documents he was a teacher.The last thing known of him is that he was interned in KZ Neuengamme/Sandbostel, prisoner number 223659.
It seems he just dissappeared, with all tracing efforts in vain.
