Regarding the present case, I am aware of the following facts: On 6 April 1943, the Blue Police [Polish Police of the General Government], together with the German gendarmerie, arrived in the village of Chełmce and took with them Walenty Gońgorowski, Jan Gońgorowski, Stefan Gońgorowski, Aniela Gońgorowska, Stefan Zapała, Władysław Kasprzyk, and Jan Zapała. They took all the above-mentioned people with them to Łopuszno. After interrogations, which lasted three days, Walenty Gońgorowski, Aniela Gońgorowska, Stefan Zapała, Władysław Kasprzyk, and Jan Zapała were shot; the others – Jan Gońgorowski and Stefan Gońgorowski – were sent to Auschwitz, where they remained until the end of the war.

I have said everything. At this point, I concluded the report and read it out before signing.
