I was present in Lipsko when the Germans entered the town on the morning of 8 September 1939. Up until noon, the Germans behaved peacefully, but then they conducted mass arrests of men – both Poles and Jews – and marched the arrestees to the town square, next to the fire station. I was also arrested, but they agreed to let me go home under the condition that I would shortly come to the assembly point, but I returned home and never went back to the town square. Shortly afterwards, two Germans came to my house intending to set fire to my property, but I pleaded with them not to do it. They then left and set fire to the neighboring Jewish buildings, and they also fired some shots there.
I didn’t see them shoot, I only heard it. One gravely wounded Jew was taken out of the burning building by his wife, who then brought him to my courtyard, where the man was shot in the stomach and shortly died; his bowels came out. About a hundred buildings – mostly Jewish – were then burned, including an old larch synagogue, which the local Jews claimed was three hundred years old. After the fire died down, I saw about ten Jewish corpses among the buildings; they were buried by other Jews on the second or third day after the killing in the synagogue square. On the following day, that is, on 9 December 1939, I heard shots; I learned from other people that another killing of about twenty Jews was carried out that day. The Germans who occupied our town wore green uniforms and helmets. I cannot recall whether they had any insignia on their uniforms. We were desperately afraid to leave our homes as our lives were hanging by a thread.
On the first day at 6.00 p.m., when I left my house in order to save the fence that had just caught fire, some German shot at me, but missed. I hid in an outhouse, afraid to walk back home, and spent the entire night and a part of the following day in hiding. On the third and subsequent days no more people were murdered, and the Jews were ordered to bury the executed people in a common grave in the synagogue square. I heard that people murdered in the vicinity of the Jewish cemetery were buried elsewhere. I don’t know how many Jews were killed there.
At this point the report was brought to a close and, after being read out, signed.
