Warsaw, 10 May 1950. Teresa Zoll, 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 Józefa Bąk, née Rosolak
[born on] 2 December 1907 in Modrzewina, Grójec county
housewife
Warsaw, Słoneczna Street 50, flat 36
Until 25 August 1944 I resided in the house at Słoneczna Street 50. On 5 August at around 11.00 a.m. German soldiers speaking in Ukrainian ordered all of the men from our house to come out into the street, threatening that if they were to find a single man hiding, they would execute all of the women and children. Apart from the residents of our house, we also had people who had been caught by surprise by the outbreak of the Uprising while out in the street. All of the men – numbering more or less 60 in total – came out, among them my brother-in-law Władysław Urbaniec and the three Wąsowskis: Władysław, Mieczysław, I don’t know the name of the third, and also Czarnecki and Antoni Kloch. I don’t know any other surnames. They were all taken to aleja Szucha. Their fate remains unknown to the present day.
On 25 August the Germans returned, and proceeded to evict the entire populace of our area, together with the residents of the house at no. 12 Spacerowa Street and other neighboring buildings. We were led down to Czerniakowska Street, through Łazienkowski Park and Bagatela Street, across Unii Square and along Rakowiecka Street to the Red Cross at Kazimierzowska Street. There we stayed the night. On the next day we were taken to the Western Railway Station, from which we were transported to Pruszków.
From Pruszków some of the people – including residents from our area – were deported to Germany.
At this point the report was concluded and read out.
