STANISŁAW GALAS

On 10 January 1969 in Warsaw, the assistant prosecutor for the District Prosecutor’s Office for Warsaw-Żoliborz heard the person named below as a witness, without an oath. After informing the witness about the criminal liability for false testimony, the witness testified as follows:


Name and surname Stanisław Galas
Age 85
Parents’ names Marianna, Bartłomiej
Place of residence Warszawa, Krasińskiego Street 20, flat 203
Occupation retired
Criminal record none
Relation to the parties none

For about 60 years I lived in the so-called Piaski [Sands]—that is, at Gąbińska Street 9. I currently live on Krasińskiego Street.

I know that during the occupation Stanisława Konczewska and her 20-year-old son were shot in their apartment. People said that Romanowski, who collaborated with the Germans, had given them up to the Gestapo. I didn’t hear about any other executions.

During the Uprising I stayed in this area until 20 August 1944. There was no insurgent combat there. Apparently, only partisans passed [to and] from the forests by night. I personally didn’t see anything and I can’t say anything on this topic.

I heard that some skulls were dug up on the Burzycka estate, but I didn’t see it. I can’t explain where they came from. I didn’t hear about anyone from the local population being shot or buried in this area.

The report was read out.
