The outbreak of the Uprising caught me in my house at Paska Street 4. Our property was occupied by insurgents. There were German troops stationed in the barracks at the Gas School at the foot of the hill on which the church is located. The residents could not move around the area freely because the Germans in the barracks shot at anyone who appeared on the street. I don’t know whether the Germans evacuated people from our property before 14 September. Around 8 September, after an agreement with the insurgent command, they left the area, setting the barracks on fire.
On 13 September, the Germans launched an assault on Marymont, attacking from the direction of the Bielany Forest. SS-men, accompanied by Vlasovtsy, moved along Marii Kazimiery Street, setting buildings on fire and murdering civilians. At Marii Kazimiery Street 3 and at the adjancent property at Paska Street 3 they killed a dozen or so people. Maria Gołębiowska can provide more information about this crime (she lives at Paska 3). The following people were killed that day at Paska Street 13: the Frechów family (three people) and the Pawlickis (a married couple). They were showered with grenades while in the basement and set on fire.
After the Uprising, when I returned to Warsaw in February 1945, I found their charred bones (I recognized them by some details such as a rupture belt or pins).
I was evacuated from my neighbors’ house at Paska Street 25 along with the other residents by Wehrmacht soldiers who controlled the area from the Olejarnia [oil mill] to Gdańska Street. On the way, I saw no traces of executions. However, I heard that the Germans had committed crimes in that area as well and removed the bodies.
We were escorted from the Central Institute of Physical Education to the Powązki Cemetery, and from there to the church in Wola. After a few days we were transported to the transit camp in Pruszków.
At that the report was concluded and read out.
