On 28 July 1943 at about 8.00 a.m., my son Józef Sarnecki was arrested and taken to Kielce together with 31 other people. A few days later I learned that my son and those other people had been executed somewhere in the vicinity of Suków. One of the corpses is definitely that of my son: I recognize him by his crop of blond hair, a steel front tooth, short-sleeved cream silk shirt and long johns.
