In May 1943, the wife of president Czerniaków was arrested by the agents of the criminal police. She was taken away from the apartment at Bukowińska Street (I don’t remember the number), from Chłopik’s house, by the agents of the criminal police (kripo [Kriminalpolizei]). One of them was called Piegot and he was living in the Praga district at the time. I don’t know the surname of the other agent. Piegot was a blond-haired man of medium height, over 20 years old. He treated the president’s wife in a rather favorable way. The arrest was a consequence of a denunciation by Chłopik – the owner of the house, who is now deceased. President Czerniaków’s wife was taken to the Criminal Police Station at the corner of Aleje Ujazdowskie and Koszykowa Street.
The head of the department – a Pole, whose surname I don’t remember – was in charge of her case.
I don’t know which department he headed.
I know that the head of the department released president Czerniaków’s wife without handing her over to the Gestapo, despite having identified her.
I never encountered him again. I encountered Piegot for the last time in 1943. The head of the department was a broad-shouldered, tall, over 40-year-old man with a vigorous face and large, expressive, blue eyes. He was jovial and well-liked.
At this point the report was brought to a close and read out.
