Testifies as follows: on 7 September 1939, three friends of my brother arrived at my home in Sycyna. These were: Zajączkowski, Gugała and Woźniak. They spent the night from 7 to 8 September at my house. On 8 September before noon, five men from Tomaszów stopped by my home. I learned their surnames later: Kamiński, Zieleniak, Komar, Bazler and Kaszczyk. In the afternoon of that day, at 3.00 p.m., front-line German troops entered the village. They searched each building in the settlement. The Germans searched my house, too, and took all eight men – my guests – and locked them up in the cellar of the estate in Sycyna. After an hour, the soldiers led each of the men out, singly, took them to the wall of Garbarczyk’s barn, and shot them there. Four of the captives were executed in this manner. Wincenty Kamiński escaped unscathed, while Władysław Zieleniak – although he too managed to flee – was seriously wounded. The Germans did not lead the two other men out of the cellar; they shot them there.
