CZESŁAW SIWCZYK

Kielce, 1 April 1948, 6.00 p.m. Marian Poniewierka from the Criminal Investigation Section of the Citizens’ Militia Station in Kielce, on the instruction of the Prosecutor from the District Court in Kielce, with the participation of court reporter Stanisław Kostera, heard the person named below as a witness. Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations and of the wording of Article 140 of the Penal Code, the witness testified as follows:


Name and surname Czesław Siwczyk
Parents’ names Jan and Maria, née Saczurek
Date of birth 16 July 1888
Place of birth Warsaw
Religious affiliation Roman Catholic
Occupation old age pensioner
Place of residence Kielce, 1 Maja Street 2

As for the camp which was operational during the German occupation at Zamkowa Street 7 in Kielce, I know that after I came from Warsaw to Kielce in September 1944, I assumed the duties of a caretaker in the Municipal Jail in Kielce in November 1944. A few days after I assumed my duties, but not on my shift (but on Ostrowski’s), the resistance fighters came and released those who had been arrested. Ostrowski was taken by the Germans and nobody has heard from him since. From that time on, the Germans didn’t bring anyone to the Municipal Jail.

I have nothing more to add. The report was read out and signed.
