With regard to the matter at hand I can provide the following information: on 23 March 1944, four gendarmes from Chorzenice came to our house, and they took my husband, Józef Bednarek, and two other men: Stefan Jędnas and Wojciech Dudek. Wojciech Dudek came back from the camp, whereas neither my husband – Józef Bednarek – nor Stefan Jędnas did. They were deported to the camp in Dachau, from which my husband wrote two letters home. As for the surnames of the gendarmes, one was Rofenł, but I cannot submit the surnames of the others, as I don’t know them. My husband, Józef Bednarek, son of Józef and Marianna, was born on 26 February 1903 in Pacierzów, Kołmnice commune, and was a farmer by profession. My husband has never come home again and I haven’t heard from him since.
I have testified all I know and, the report having been read out to me, I sign it.
