Regarding this matter, I am aware of the following facts. On some day, I cannot remember exactly which one, in 1943, I heard that German military police, during a roundup in the commune of Bliżyn, shot dead Kazimierz Wielocha, residing in Wojtyniów; Edward Kowalczyk, residing in Bliżyn; Józef Ciura, residing in Bliżyn; Zygmunt Gula and Jan Gula, residing in the village of Brześć; Bolesław Ciura, residing in Jastrzębia, Bliżyn commune; and a Jewish woman whose name is unknown, whose execution by SS officers I saw in the town of Bliżyn. Furthermore, the labor camp for Jews operated from 1942 until 1944, where they were forced to work in the penal camp. I also know that about 100 (in words: one hundred) were shot dead by SS officers, and that a large and indefinite number of prisoners died because of emaciation and typhus.
In terms of Russian POWs, about six thousand were murdered through overt and special destruction between 1941 and 1943 in the camp of Bliżyn. In terms of the afore-mentioned prisoners, they used the following methods of abuse: starvation, putting contaminants in food, special methods of torment, and shooting.
The report was concluded and read out.
