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.
