Warsaw, 3 May 1950. Judge [no surname], acting as a member of the Main Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes in Poland, interviewed the person named below, who testified as follows:
My name is Kazimiera Grzeszczak, née Duch [born on] 26 January 1917, Krzemień, Kozienice county housewife Warsaw, Belwederska Street 44, flat 34
Throughout the Warsaw Uprising, until 26 August 1944, I stayed in the house at Belwederska Street 44. During this period, the residents of our area were frequently assaulted by “Ukrainians” in German service, who robbed us of our valuables and committed rape; eight women from our house fell victim to this crime. A Ukrainian killed one of them because she defended herself. I have forgotten her surname.
On 26 August 1944 Germans came to our area and ordered the populace of our entire street and neighboring streets to come out. We were led along Belwederska Street to Aleje Ujazdowskie, and from there to aleja Szucha. There, in the Gestapo building, they separated nine young men from us, including my brother, Stanisław Duch, and Wacław Lewandowski. I do not know the surnames of the others. The rest of us were driven on foot to the Western Railway Station, from where we were transported to the transit camp in Pruszków.
Some of the men detained in aleja Szucha returned to their families after the Uprising. Amongst them my brother, presently deceased. He said that they had been detained for the purpose of performing work.
At this point the report was brought to a close and read out.
