Warsaw, 10 May 1950. Judge [no surname], acting as a member of the Main Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes in Poland, interviewed the person named below, who testified as follows:
Izabela Świętoniowska [born on] 1 April 1908, Słonkowo, Płock county house caretaker Warsaw, Sulkiewicza Street 9, flat 18
When the Warsaw Uprising broke out, I was in my flat in the house at Sulkiewicza Street 9. Our area was occupied by the Germans, but the German soldiers were not stationed in any of the houses in our street. Throughout the Uprising, the populace of our area suffered continuous assaults at the hands of “Ukrainian” soldiers. However, no serious crime was committed in our area.
On 28 August 1944 (I am not sure of the exact date), the Germans from aleja Szucha came to evict the entire population from out street and neighboring streets. We were led into aleja Szucha. There, in the Gestapo courtyard, the Germans separated the young men from the rest of the people. They were detained in the Gestapo building, while motor cars took us to the Western Railway Station and from there to Pruszków.
I do not know how many men from our group were held in the Gestapo building. One of the residents of our house, Stanisław Królik, was amongst those detained. I am aware that to date, none of the detained men have returned.
At this point the report was brought to a close and read out.
