ADAM DZIK

On 23 January 1948 in Kozienice, the Radom District Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes, Branch Office in Kozienice, in the person of lawyer Jerzy Kabinczak, interviewed the person named below as an unsworn witness. Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations and of the wording of Art. 107 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the witness testified as follows:

Name and surname Adam Dzik


Age 38 years old
Names of parents Jan and Zofia née Kurazek
Place of residence Wólka Ukazowa, Brzeźnica municipality
Occupation farmer
Religious affiliation Roman Catholic
Criminal record none

I was arrested in a mass arrest in the county of Brzeźnica. About 480 residents of that county were then arrested. From our village, the following men were detained: Bronisław Caluch, Stanisław Ceglarz, Jan Król, Antoni Kucharski, Stefan Klepka, Władysław Gadecki, Józef Gadecki, Józef Mojdak, Stefan and Jan Łapijanek, Piotr Pawelec, Jan Gadecki, and I.

During interrogations in Kozienice we were so severely beaten that some men died as a result. We were asked to what organization we belonged. Among others, Władysław Sokołowski from the village of Prazy [?] died after he had been beaten during the interrogation. Some men were transported to Zwoleń and Pionki, where allegedly they were shot by the Germans; the rest had to suffer the torment of concentration camps.

Of the above named men, the following were released in Radom: Król, both Gadeckis, Piotr Pawelec, Klepka.

Apart from myself, Jan Gadecki and Bronisław Caluch returned from the camps.

I don’t know who informed on us. Sometimes I read clandestine papers.

I confirm that this is my testimony.

The report was read out.
