Regarding the present case, I am aware of the following facts. My husband, Mieczysław Fabian, was arrested on 24 June 1944, and taken away from the apartment. During the arrest he was accused of possessing weapons and belonging to an underground organization. After the arrest, my husband was taken to the prison in Kielce. He was beaten so much, that when I received his underwear, it was covered with blood. I do not know neither the names of the perpetrators who arrested my husband, [nor] their rank or address, but I know he was arrested by Gestapo. On 5 July 1944, my husband was shot dead; I found out about it from hanging posters, but I do not know the place of the execution and I have not found his corpse until today.
