When the Warsaw Uprising broke out, I was at home at Czerwonego Krzyża Street 9. On the evening of 3 August 1944, at around 7.00 p.m.– 8.00p.m., the Germans entered out street. The insurgents who had been occupying our house had left the evening before. The Germans ordered all the residents of Czerwonego Krzyża Street, houses up to number 9, to leave their flats. The inhabitants of houses at 3 Maja Street, near the viaduct, were evicted in the same way.
The Germans took our group, numbering a thousand or so people, over the embankment to the [National] Museum. They (the Wehrmacht) kept us there for four days, even though they did not have any food to give us. After four days the women, children and elderly were released. The men were detained. During my stay there I witnessed a German – an SS man in a yellow shirt – drag out young men. As I later learned, they were taken to provide cover for German tanks. When the released people started returning to their homes, the Germans shot at them, even though they had announced that they would not do so. A German in a house at the corner of Solec and Czerwonego Krzyża streets fired a burst from his machine gun. He hit many people in the legs and one young girl even died from blood loss.
Our house was occupied by the insurgents until 5 September. On that day they withdrew to some point in the Śródmieście district. My husband and I passed through Śródmieście to Mokotów, and from there to Solec, to the bridgehead established by Berling’s soldiers, because I wanted to get through to my children on the other side of the Vistula. On 25 September 1944 my husband swam across the Vistula, however I was unable to accomplish this. On the next day the area was taken over by the Germans. Some of Berling’s soldiers also swam to the other bank of the Vistula, so that only a few wounded people remained, tended to by a small group of able-bodied men. We all took up shelter in a burnt out basement. The Germans ordered us to come out. They led us further forward, between Czerniakowska and Solec streets.
There I witnessed a few terrifying executions. The Germans hanged two women who were dressed in camouflage jackets, one of Berling’s men and a priest from a small church in Solec. They also executed another man by firing squad. They walked the rest of the civilians to aleja Szucha.
From there we were escorted by “Ukrainians” to the Western Railway Station and transported by train to Pruszków.
At this point the report was brought to a close and read out.
