On 17 December 1945, in Radom, Kazimierz Borys, Investigating Judge from the Second District of the District Court in Radom, based in Radom, interviewed the person named below as an unsworn witness. Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false declarations, the witness testified as follows:

Names of parents | Antoni and Zofia |
Place of residence | Radom, 1 maja Street 22 |

On 14 October 1942, my brother | Czesław Stefański, born on 14 June 1914, a locksmith at |
the Arms Factory, was executed near the Arms Factory in Radom.
I was at the execution site two hours after the execution and I saw the bodies still hanging from the gallows. Among the hanged I recognized my brother and Roman Ptaszyński. The latter also worked at the Arms Factory.
The bodies were left hanging from the gallows for the whole day. I don’t know where they were later taken, probably to Firlej.
I don’t know why my brother was executed. I saw a board set up next to the gallows. It followed from the notice posted on it that the people executed on the gallows were criminals or bandits.
Having been shown a photograph of the people hanged near the Arms Factory in Radom, the witness testified as follows:
The photograph is too blurred for me to recognize either my brother or Roman Ptaszyński. I certainly recognized them on the day on which they were executed.
The report was read out.
