On 7 February 1946 in Warsaw, associate judge Antoni Krytowski, delegated to the Warszawa-Miasto Branch of the Main Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes, heard the person named below as an unsworn witness. Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations, the witness testified as follows:
| Name and surname | Irena Rabica |
| Date of birth | 14 July 1900 |
| Parents’ names | Jan and Stanisława |
| Occupation | accountant in the Warsaw Assay Office |
| Education | secondary school |
| Place of residence | Warsaw, Praga district, Serocka Street 17, flat 4 |
| Religious affiliation | Roman Catholic |
| Criminal record | none |
On 23 July 1944, my husband Józef Rabica left our house at Złota Street 22 and went together with Marian Nowak in the direction of Krucza Street in order to visit my sister. When they reached the junction of Marszałkowska Street and Aleje Jerozolimskie, my husband and Nowak had to wait for the signal to cross the street. At that time two Gestapo men came up to my husband, and one of them – without a word – hit my husband on the temple with a rifle butt. My husband fell to the ground, and the Gestapo men went on their way. Shortly afterwards, my husband was taken by ambulance to the Child Jesus Hospital, where he died the next day, having never regained consciousness.
Basilar skull fracture was identified as the cause of my husband’s death in a certificate issued by the hospital, which I hereby file with the case records.
My husband was a member of a Polish underground organization, and I believe that he must have been followed by the Gestapo. I know the details of the assault on my husband only from the accounts of eyewitnesses: Marian Nowak and some Polish policeman from the station at Poznańska Street (I don’t know his surname) who observed the events.
The report was read out.
