I know that Eugeniusz Nowroczyński was shot by the Gestapo on 13 April 1942 on the way from Bandurskiego Street to the prison. His burial was carried out by my funeral home on 14 April 1942 in the local cemetery (Kielce ‘Piaski’).
I don’t know the names of those who carried out the execution because it took place at night. The body was buried on orders from the Gestapo.
I know that Eugeniusz Nowroczyński was arrested in his house at Leonarda Street (I don’t know the number) and shot on the way to the prison. As far as I know, but I am not sure, Eugeniusz Nowroczyński had been accused of conspiring against the Germans. Nowroczyński’s execution wasn’t carried out in retaliation.
At this point, I conclude my testimony.
The report was read out and signed.
