JAN WITKOWSKI

On 13 February 1946 in Warsaw Associate Judge Antoni Krzętowski, delegated to the Warszawa-Miasto Branch of the Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes, interviewed the person named below as a witness, without taking an oath. The witness was advised of the obligation to speak the truth and of the criminal liability for making false declarations, and testified as follows:


Name and surname Józef Witkowski
Parents’ names Jan and Marianna
Date of birth 15 November 1887
Place of residence Warsaw – Okęcie, Reymonta Street 9, flat 2
Occupation locksmith
Education reads and writes a little
Religion Roman Catholic
Criminal record none

I don’t know Franciszek Stanisław Komorowski at all. I was never imprisoned at Pawiak. I was never arrested by the Germans, with the exception of the period of the uprising, when the Germans took me from Okęcie and in September 1944 deported me to Germany for labour.

My address, which Komorowski provided during his interview, is correct, for this is the address at which I work. However, I have no connection with the Pawiak case, and I cannot explain why the misunderstanding came about. It would seem probable that someone having the same name and surname as myself is employed at the tramcar depot in Mokotów.

The report was read out.
