During the occupation, I lived with my father in Warsaw at Wileńskiej Street 5. On 3 August 1944, the Nazis came to the courtyard of the building where we lived, issuing the order that all the men should go down to the yard. Upon this command, a few men from the building at Wileńska 5 came down, including myself.
I don’t know what division these Nazis were from. I remember that the Nazi who escorted me was dressed in a green German military uniform, wearing a helmet and a metal plate on his chest.
The Nazis led us towards the church. As we were being led to the church, I personally saw a pile of corpses lying next to it.
I didn’t count how many corpses there were, but there were several dozen of them. The German fascists told us to dig a large pit, and then we were ordered to carry the bodies and throw them into it. Following this command, I first dug the pit, and then I carried the corpses and threw them into it. There was an unpleasant smell from the corpses. Some of the bodies had traces of bullet wounds, while many had various body parts ripped off, indicating that they had been murdered with grenades. There were both men and women among the corpses, but most of them were men.
Where the victims of this Nazi crime came from, I don’t know.
After burying the corpses, the Nazis escorted us back to the building at Wileńska Street 5.
I have read this report personally and I hereby sign it as being truthful.
