In August 1945, I was present as a recording clerk for the Polish Red Cross during the exhumation carried out by the City Funeral Service at Świętokrzyska Street (at the corner of Szkolna Street). From a hole in the roadway, about ten human corpses were recovered; these were just the remains – individual bones, skulls – the bodies weren’t preserved. One of the corpses was identified on the basis of a document found in what was left of the clothes.
The place of exhumation was indicated by a PKO janitor (I don’t know his name) who was with the PKO during the uprising.
The exhumation reports are with the Polish Red Cross.
No doctor was present at the exhumation.
The report was read out.
