From February to April 1945, as a representative of the Polish Red Cross, I was making a record of graves of Poles located in the Śródmieście district of Warsaw. At the time I learned by chance from some passers-by on Oleandrów Street that there was a large number of human bodies in the basements of the Anca pharmacy. I went to this pharmacy, situated on the corner of Marszałkowska and Oleandrów streets. I found a completely burnt down and partially collapsed basement under the pharmacy. I only took a look inside standing in the street as it was impossible to enter the basement. I did not see any corpses or traces of murder.
The report was read out.
