On 3 May 1943 the Germans drove from Końskie to the village of Kacprów in search of partisans. This was in the early morning. They surrounded the entire village and entered some houses in order to see if there were any strangers inside. Four armed Germans came into my house and asked where my son Władysław (aged 20) was. My daughter and her mother – my wife – replied that my son wasn’t home. [The Germans] started looking for him and found him behind the cupboard. They started beating him, my wife, and my daughter. They beat them with a stick. Then they led them outside and put my son Władysław and our neighbor Antoni Tomasik in a car. My daughter Marianna Szlęzak, aged 23, unmarried, and my wife Helena, née Kowalska, aged 62, and Wincenty Kowalski were shot dead on the spot. Władysław Szlęzak was detained in various camps in Germany. I don’t know whether he is alive. Antoni Tomasik returned home two weeks later.
On the same day, the Germans took from the village two Czech brothers, who came back after three years in Auschwitz.
From my house the Germans took boots which had belonged to my son Władysław, his leather jacket, a casual jacket, a camera, bike, and other small items.
Within a couple of weeks after these events, the Germans came back to the village of Kacprów and took away Tarczyński, Piotr Kowalski, Władysław Tomasik and Florian Prasał. Apparently the Germans killed Prasał somewhere in Germany. The rest of the people who had been taken were transported to a camp and they never came back. The Germans robbed the above- mentioned farmers of everything they could get their hands on.
At this point the report was brought to a close, read, and signed.
