As regards the murdering of the Jews and the Polish populace, I testify that in 1942, the Germans established a ghetto, where they segregated great masses of people. Those who couldn’t work were taken out of town and executed. I have witnessed this many a time: whenever the Germans encountered someone talking to a Jew in the street or trying to hand something over to him, they shot both, and sometimes [buried them] only half-dead. In June 1943, the ghetto was liquidated. As for the deaths of my friends from Kłobuck, I am sure beyond a doubt that they were executed, because I know those bastards well, and the families were notified that their relatives had died in the camp.
