As regards the shooting of nine Jews in the autumn of 1942, I know that on the morning of one day (I don’t remember the exact date), a group of gendarmes, Gestapo men and “Ukrainians” arrived in Białaczów with the aim of transporting the Jews from the Białaczów settlement to an assembly point in Opoczno.
I would like to emphasize that at the time I worked for the Białaczów Commune Board; a blue policeman came to me and told me to go to the office. On the way, on Zakrzowska Street, I stumbled upon the body of an elderly Jew – the man (whose surname I don’t know) had just been shot for walking too slowly to the assembly point. Next I saw a Jewess of about 90 being beaten with a rifle butt on the back; she had a KB gun put to her head and was ordered to “stay on the ground, you old fuck”.
When we arrived at the office of the Commune Board, I saw that approximately 600 Jews had already been gathered there and that they were being loaded onto carts. The elderly and the sick were helped up by the young, who were constantly beaten by the gendarmerie: sometimes for being too quick, sometimes for being too slow in loading.
At the time two young Jewesses, whose surnames I don’t recall, were brought there; two gendarmes approached them and one of them tore open their dresses and underwear with a bayonet in search of hidden gold and rings. Then he hit one of the Jewesses on the head, and she lost consciousness; next he poured some water over her and ordered that she be placed on a cart.
An hour after the departure of the transport, Volksdeutscher Orwat (currently deceased, as is his family) brought four Jews to the commune jail: a man with a little daughter and a woman with a little son. A few minutes later gendarme Kunce arrived and ordered that the arrestees be taken outside, to the front of the commune office, where he shot the Jew and his daughter with a gun. The Jewess, at whom he fired three times with short firearms, put up resistance in self-defense. Her son, who lay on the ground out of great fear, was shot in the back of the head. Kunce fired his rifle several more times, aiming at the heads of the already dead people, and then he robbed them and left.
At this the report was concluded and signed.
