With regard to the present matter, I know the following: It was in 1942, I cannot remember the exact date. I was walking from the “Łubna” Sugar Factory, where I worked as a physical laborer. Some Germans came across me on my way, and they took me to Kazimierza Mała in order to bury some Jews who had been shot dead by the Germans. There were three murdered Jews. I was an eyewitness to the Germans executing the above mentioned.
At that the report was concluded and signed after being read out.
