When the Warsaw Uprising broke out, I was in my house at Nowogrodzka Street 6. The section of Nowogrodzka Street from Krucza Street to Bracka Street was held by the insurgents throughout the Uprising, right up until the day of capitulation – 2 October 1944. I don’t know what happened in areas that were further away. On 2 October the residents of our area started leaving Warsaw; I myself left on 7 October. We walked to the Main Railway Station at Aleje Jerozolimskie, where the residents of various parts of Śródmieście had gathered, preparing to leave the city that day. While leading out the populace, the Germans did not commit any crimes. They treated us decently. We were led out from the Main Railway Station to the Western Railway Station, from where we were transported in cattle wagons to Pruszków.

I did not hear about any crimes being committed by the Germans in our area.

At this point the report was brought to a close and read out.
