In response to the appeal to the families of those murdered in Katyń, I hereby submit the data pertaining to my husband and a copy of a fragment of the list, hoping that information about other martyrs from that place of suffering might also prove useful to you.
| 1. | Henryk Pisarek, son of Paweł, born on 19 January 1913 in Bzianka, Rzeszów district. |
| 2. | Last place of residence: the village of Silno, Łuck district (Volhynia). |
| 3. | Occupation: headmaster of the elementary school in Silno. |
| 4. | Military service: second lieutenant in the reserve of the 6th Podhale Rifles Regiment in Sambor. |
| 5. | – (He left on the day of mobilization). |
| 6. | The only message came from Kozelsk on 28 December 1939. |
| 7. | Submitted by: Helena Pisarek, the wife. |
I will try to obtain some photographs from my family, as all photographs in my possession – along with the rest of my belongings – were lost in Volhynia. I survived only because I came to my family to give birth to my child (born on 18 July 1939), who was only a month old when my husband went to war.
Please accept my profound gratitude for your concern and work; I will always remember you in my prayers.
Helena Pisarek
