When the Warsaw Uprising broke out, I was in my flat in the house at Rakowiecka Street 15. Until 4 August 1944 it was calm in our tenement; however, Germans from the Wehrmacht arrived on that day and started searching through the flats, ordering everyone to gather in the courtyard. In the ground floor flat of the annex of our house there lived a retired engine driver of the Grójec railway, one Kochański (I don’t know his name), who at the time was sick and was lying in bed. The Germans shot him then and there, in his bed. They killed Kochański’s wife, too, for she did not want to abandon her husband’s body. This happened at around 10.00 a.m. At the same time, the Germans shot seven people dead in the courtyard of our house, namely Stanisław Szlenkier, aged around 40; a master painter, Feliks Czyżewski, the caretaker of the house, aged around 40; Józef Anioł, 13 years old; and four other people whose surnames I do not know.
I think that Zofia Czyżewska (currently residing at Rakowiecka Street 9) will know the surnames of the victims. I shall undertake to deliver to her the court summons for 15 February of the present year.
At the time the Germans shot Szlenkier, Czyżewski and Anioł dead, I was in the street, opposite the gate to our house. I saw their bodies with my own eyes, lying there in the courtyard. That was on 6 August. On that day I was released by the Germans from the Luftwaffe barracks at the corner of Puławska and Rakowiecka streets, and returned to our house in order to see what was left of it. The bodies of Mr and Mrs Kochański had been incinerated in the flat, for the Germans had set fire to the house already on 4 August. The house burnt right before my eyes, for the Germans kept us all in the street in front of the building until more or less 5.00 p.m., having set fire to the house before 2.00 p.m. I would like to add that on 4 August, in the house neighboring ours, currently no. 21 Sandomierska Street (the corner building), the Germans killed the two Lipke sisters, the daughters of the owner of the grocery store. One was aged around 19, and the other 16. Both were shot dead. The Germans also killed their father, Feliks Lipke, at the same time.
