On Whit Sunday in 1943 my brother, a resistance fighter, was in Stanisław Kubicki’s flat in Barwinek (district of Kielce) together with his friends. They were surrounded by the gendarmes, but my brother managed to escape; he was only wounded in the right jaw.

On the next day, my brother went to the hospital in Kielce and was captured there. He was probably executed in the prison yard in Kielce, and later his body was transported to the Jewish cemetery in Kielce.

When the Red Army entered, the body was uncovered and identified as my brother.

I have nothing more to add.
