When the Warsaw Uprising broke out, I was in the building of the Ursuline convent at ks. Siemca Street 2. On the three floors of our building from the side of Dobra Street we set up a small hospital with 20 beds, which I myself administered.
At 5.00 p.m. on 1 August 1944 the insurgents commenced an attack on the University, which had been occupied by the Germans. After only a few minutes of fighting I had one wounded insurgent in the hospital, whose injury I dressed. I then heard that another wounded man was lying by our house, from the side of Gęsta Street. Five of our sisters went out into Gęsta Street with stretchers. As it turned out, by then the wounded man was dead. In the street the sisters met one of our alumnae, I do not now remember her surname, who had been in the street when the Uprising broke out, and was making her way to us. This girl pointed out another wounded man to the sisters, lying more or less at the junction of Browarna and Gęsta streets. When the sisters and the girl placed the man on a stretcher, the Germans in the University building started shooting at Gęsta Street with such ferocity that they were unable to return. They did not want to leave the wounded man and save themselves by fleeing. Thus, they walked down Browarna Street and hid by the University wall. However, the Germans started shooting at them there, too. Thus, the sisters carried the wounded man to the other side of Gęsta Street and lay down on the ground behind a small wood and brick fence. The Germans fired at the sisters’ hiding place for more or less two hours. During this time, the Germans moved closer to the wall. The shooting died down for a while. A German patrol passed along Browarna Street. After some time, the Germans resumed their criminal operation, this time showering the sisters with grenades. Only one of them, wounded, was still alive. The Germans then hurled some rags and bottles containing an inflammable liquid. When sister Płaska, who at the time was still alive, sensed that the bodies of her companions were burning, she jumped up and started running away down Browarna Street. She was wounded by yet another German bullet.
Thus, on 1 August 1944 in Gęsta Street, near Browarna Street, six people perished: four sisters, one young girl, and a wounded man. During the night of 2–3 August, sister Płaska was carried from Browarna Street, corner of Gęsta Street, from the caretaker’s flat. While tending to her, I counted 130 wounds. It was she who provided me with the details concerning the crime committed on 1 August. On the same day, 1 August, the Germans shot dead our deputy chaplain, Father Bierzyński, who had gone out with the sisters with holy oil to tend to a wounded man lying near our house.
In our hospital, or should I say – dressing station with beds, there were either lightly wounded patients, or dying persons. The seriously wounded were carried off to the insurgent hospital at Drewniana Street 8, which was administered by Dr. Staszewski.
On 3 or 4 September, I do not now remember the exact date, on the same day when the Germans occupied the electric power station, they ordered us to leave our house. By then there were no insurgents in the area, and the wounded insurgents from our station had also been evacuated. Only a few wounded civilians and two ladies who were unable to walk, Mrs. Besiacka and Mrs. Michałowska, remained at the first-aid post. The Germans did not allow us to take any patients with us, explaining that they would be collected by a special transport. We were led through Dobra, Karowa and Wybrzeże streets to Bednarska Street, and from there to the Saski Square. We spent the night there in the courtyard of the headquarters, while on the next day we were taken to the Wola district, to St. Stanislaus’ Church at Wolska Street. There I met one of the gentlemen who had been lying in our first-aid post. He did not know what had become of the other wounded (only three or four of them remained).
Having returned to Warsaw towards the end of January 1945, we found three charred female bodies in the courtyard of our house. We also found one charred male body in one of the rooms on the first floor. It was obvious that these were the corpses of the people whom the Germans were supposed to transport from our area.
At this point the report was concluded and read out.
