On 21 October 1947 in Radom, the District Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes with its seat in Radom, this in the person of a member of the Commission, lawyer Zygmunt Glogier, interviewed the person mentioned hereunder as a witness, without taking an oath. Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations, the witness testified as follows:
| Name and surname | Leokadia Fiołek |
| Age | 46 |
| Parents’ names | Wiktoria, Michał |
| Place of residence | Radom, Malczewskiego Street 11 |
| Occupation | court official |
| Criminal record | none |
| Relationship to the parties | none |
From the time the Germans entered Radom I stayed here until I was arrested, that is until 13 May 1941. The first evictions took place at the beginning of December 1939, and they were connected with the establishing of a new German district. Masses of people were thrown out of their apartments, left to their own fate. The time limit of a few hours for moving out made it impossible for them to take their possessions, which in most cases remained in their apartments. The streets being emptied at that time were: Żeromskiego, Moniuszki, a section of Piłsudskiego and Sienkiewicza.
In that month (on 11 November 1939) many residents were arrested, [including] judges, doctors, attorneys, political activists, teachers, and others. It was rather a repressive- preventive operation.
In January 1941, there were mass arrests [of] around 600 people from various circles. As I recall, it was related to the revealing of some kind of organization in a café on Żeromskiego Street, as a result of which Gajl was arrested.
On 13 May 1941, around 4 a.m., two individuals entered my apartment – one was a civilian, another in uniform – and took me to Kościuszki Street after carrying out a brief search. These were isolated arrests. Mrs. Pietrzykowska, whose husband they came for, was also arrested. They recorded my personal information on Kościuszki Street and drove me to prison, where I was placed in a Sonderabteilung set up by Koch. I heard from my colleagues that Koch was harassing people.
I was taken to Kościuszki Street for interrogations more than a dozen of times. On two occasions I wasn’t even interrogated. I was always put in the basement when awaiting interrogation, then I’d be taken to the third floor, where I’d be interviewed in a large room with a balcony facing Kościuszki Street. In the room I was interrogated by a tall individual, with reddish hair, around 30 years old, oval face, sharp nose, spoke Polish well, and another guy, a tall dark-haired man, burly, height above average, round face, large, black eyebrows. During the interrogations I was beaten by the former individual, usually with a plank. The first time I was laid on the bench, on subsequent occasions I was beaten after being laid on the desk. Overall I was beaten seven times during the interrogations. I remember – it was the first interrogation – being led to the third floor. I went across a room that resembled a lumber- room and saw an armchair, and a man in it, the grimace on his face one of suffering. In the room behind this one, where there was a bench and a stool, I got beaten up so badly that I began hemorrhaging later in prison, which didn’t stop them taking me for further interrogation. I was beaten by the following individuals, whose descriptions I enclose: short, stocky dark-haired man wearing glasses, wide, animal face; tall, slim blond-haired man, and a thin blondie. All aged up to 30, speaking Polish well.
Of the others taken with me to the interrogations, every one of them suffered beating, in one way or another. Usually everybody was bleeding after the interrogation.
At the beginning of August 1941 I was sent to Ravensbrück along with around 200 other women, where I stayed until 28 April 1945, that is the day of evacuation, when I escaped. I’m unable to provide any surnames of the Gestapo men.
I need to add that all the men were cuffed while being transported for interrogation.
I hereabove testified.
