My son, Tadeusz, Adamczyk and Jan Motyka were captured by the Germans (Gestapo) in the woods near Mazur while carrying medical instruments. Right after their capture they were taken to the Gestapo in Kielce where they stayed from Monday to Thursday. On the Thursday evening they were taken to the Stadium and executed by the Gestapo. I don’t remember the exact date.

I received information about my son from Michałowski, whose present whereabouts I am not familiar with.

In 1945 my son and others who had been killed with him were transferred to the Partisan Cemetery in Kielce. My son joined the resistance the same year he was shot.

He usually stayed in Kielce and contacted his unit in the woods in order to provide it with intelligence that he had gathered.

The report was read out.
