In Suchedniów on this day, 17 June 1948, at 9.00 a.m., I, Ignacy Kołda from the Citizens’ Militia Station in Suchedniów, acting on the basis of Article 20 of the provisions introducing the Code of Criminal Procedure, on the instruction of citizen Deputy Prosecutor from the Region of the Prosecutor’s Office of the District Court in Kielce, this dated 23 March 1948, file number ŁN 72/48, issued on the basis of Article 20 of the provisions introducing the Code of Criminal Procedure, observing the formal requirements set forward in Articles 235-240, 258 and 259 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, with the participation of reporter Alojzy Kocela, whom I have informed of the obligation to attest to the conformity of the report with the actual course of the procedure by his own signature, have heard the person named below as a witness. Having been advised of the right to refuse to testify for the reasons set forward in Article 104 of the CCP and of the criminal liability for making false declarations, pursuant to Article 140 of the Penal Code, the witness testified as follows:
| Name and surname | Antoni Tusznio |
| Parents’ names | Władysław and Karolina, née Miernik |
| Date and place of birth | 14 February 1894 in Stokowiec |
| Religious affiliation | Roman Catholic |
| Occupation | farmer |
| Place of residence | Kleszczyny 80, Suchedniów commune |
| Relationship to the parties | none |
With regard to the matter at hand I can provide the following information: On 20 August 1943 Polish partisans, Stefan Herman, Stanisław Borus and two other whose names remain unknown, were going from the forest near Stokowiec in the direction of Kleszczyn and Wieprzki, to the forest around Siekierzyn. They reached Kleszczyn. On the way to the forester’s lodge in Stokowiec they came across German gendarmes stationed in the school no 1 in Suchedniów. After noticing the Germans, the partisans began to run along the road towards Siekierno, but they were surrounded and shot on the way. Then, as the village administrator, I received order from the Germans to bury the dead on the spot. I did as I was told, relying on the help of some locals. After the liberation, the bodies were reburied in the cemetery in Suchedniów. I wish to add that I wasn’t able to identify the two unknown partisans because after they had been killed the Germans took all their papers.
I don’t know the surnames of the perpetrators. All I know is that they were stationed in Suchedniów. I wish to note that Mikołajewski, the former partisan, who summoned Stefan Herman, is also dead. He died in Auschwitz.
At this the report was concluded, read out and signed.
