Having been advised of the criminal liability for making false statements in accordance with the provisions of Article 247, paragraph 1 of the Penal Code, the witness testified as follows.
I remember the exact date – it was 20 January 1944, I was four years and two months old – when during the daytime many German gendarmes arrived at our home on a truck. They called on my father, Hieronim Skłodowski, to come out of the house and tried to force him to reveal where he was sheltering Jews. While some were beating him, others were conducting a search.
I also remember that when the gendarmes arrived, our neighbor peered out of her house and one of the gendarmes shot and killed her. Her last name was Pieńkowska.
The gendarmes continued to beat my father; after each blow he would get up and fall back down, until he was beaten to death. After my father was killed, the gendarmes ordered us to get dressed and get in a car. Only our ailing grandmother, Aleksandra Skłodowska, was left at home. We were inside the car when I heard a shot and came to the conclusion that grandma was shot.
Our neighbor, Józef Kulesza, arrived together with the gendarmes. There could be no doubt that he was the one who [reported] us to the Germans, because when my mother tried to speak up, he shut her down.
We were taken to Jasienica, where we spent about a week, and as far as I know our entire family was to be shot. We were released after a week. My father’s acquaintance, a resident of Świerże-Panki, intervened to have us released. He was referred to as “Bauer”, but I do not know if that was his surname or a nickname.
That is the end of my testimony in this case.
At this the report was concluded and read out on 6 August 1988 at 7:05 p.m. I have signed the report after having confirmed it is consistent with my testimony.
