My husband Jan Czyżewski (born in 1889), a graphic artist by profession, worked in the Security Printing Works during the German occupation. He belonged to an underground organization whose purpose was to fight the Germans.
Both of our sons are also dead now, killed in guerrilla warfare.
On 17 or 18 November 1943, in my absence, four Gestapo men came to our flat at Barcicka Street 34 at midnight. They asked where we kept the weapons and even said that they would not arrest my husband as long as he handed over the weapons. They conducted a detailed inspection, during which they stole a whole suitcase of things from my mother, but found nothing of interest to them.
I underline that there really were weapons hidden in our flat, but the Germans did not find them. They hit my husband, told him to bring down the things they had stolen from us, and left, taking him away.
Sometime later, a package for my husband was accepted at the police station on Krochmalna Street, hence I know that he was held in Pawiak prison.
Later, I read on a notice that on 3 December 1944 [sic] my husband had been executed. I did not learn any more details about him.
On the same night as my husband, my sons’ friends were arrested from their homes, Witek Stypułowski and the other one – Leszek, whose surname I do not remember. Their surnames were also on the notice with [the surname] of my husband.
