Mniów, 8 January 1948, 7:50 p.m., I, Władysław Fituch from the Investigative Department at the District Headquarters of the Citizens’ Militia in Kielce, acting pursuant to Article 20 of the provisions introducing the Code of Criminal Procedure, while observing the formalities listed in Article 240 and 259 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, with the participation of reporter Tadeusz Stelmaszczyk from the District Headquarters of the Citizens’ Militia in Kielce, whom I have instructed of the obligation to certify the compliance of the Protocol with the course of procedure by signing, heard the person named below as a witness. Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations [pursuant to] Article 140 of the Code of Criminal Procedure [and about] the right to refuse to testify for the reasons mentioned in Article 104 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the witness stated:
| Name and surname | Edward Rudny |
| Parents’ names | Stanisław and Stanisława |
| Date and place of birth | 3 October 1909, Zawiercie district |
| Religious affiliation | Roman Catholic |
| Occupation | farmer |
| Place of residence | Mniów, Kielce district |
In the present case, I have knowledge of the following. On 26 May 1943, a very large group of Gestapo men from Kielce arrived in the morning. They arrested many people in Mniów and the surrounding area – [even] if someone was [just] walking through the field. Some of the people were transported to the camps, while the rest were taken by car to the village of Raszówka, which is located about 1 km from Mniów, and there [they] were burned alive in Dąbrowska’s flat. I saw with my own eyes how Stefan Wypych rode with the Gestapo and pointed out the flats, where and whom the Gestapo officers were to arrest. The Gestapo men would leave Wypych alone in the taxi; he sat in the back on his own so that nobody could recognize him. He lived in Mniów at that time. After the residents of Mniów, Podchybów, and Serbinów were burned, he left with the Gestapo and has not been seen until now. I heard from some people that he supposedly lived somewhere in the western territories, and apparently he was seen there by a woman, but I don’t recall who it was.
I conclude my testimony and sign it after it was read out to me.
