I remember that on 8 September 1943 the Jewish family sheltered by Stanisław Krysiewicz in the village of Waniewo was murdered, together with the Krysiewiczs. I’m well aware of that fact, because during the Hitlerite occupation I was living in the settlement outside the village of Waniewo, near the Krysiewiczs. Also in this settlement Hipolit Śliwonik had his buildings, and a bit further – the Ślesiński and Faszczewski families. Our buildings were approximately 300 meters away from the Krysiewiczs’ buildings.
On 8 September 1943 at night gendarmes from Tykocin arrived and encircled the Krysiewiczs’ buildings. The gendarmes set all the buildings on fire and shot at people who were attempting to flee from the flames. I saw all this with my own eyes and heard the shots before I decided to run away. Fearing that we might be in danger, together with my husband and children I left our house and went in the opposite direction, that is towards the village of Waniewo.
After burning down the Krysiewiczs’ buildings and shooting most of the people inside, the gendarmes came to our house. We only managed to run for several dozen meters before the gendarmes caught up with us and ordered us to return. They asked my husband if he owned horses and ordered him to ready the horse wagon because they wanted him to come with them. Next, when my husband arrived where the gendarmes were, they loaded the five Krysiewicz children onto the wagon. One of the gendarmes placed these children under my care, asking if I agreed to this, because otherwise they would take the children with them. I immediately agreed, fearing that the Germans might shoot the children.
When I took the children off the horse wagon, the gendarmes took my husband and Mrs. Krysiewicz – her name was Władysława – to Tykocin. On their way they stopped at the mill in Kurowo. Two or three days later, the gendarmes shot Mrs. Krysiewicz in Tykocin. The following day they let my husband go and he returned from Tykocin.
I was afraid to leave the house, but other residents of Waniewo visited and told me that on Krysiewicz’s burnt-down farm there lie the bodies of the persons murdered by the gendarmes. The Germans shot Stanisław Krysiewicz and several Jewish men and women. They were sheltering at Krysiewicz’s and the gendarmes murdered them.
The bodies of the murdered were buried at the crime scene. This decision was made by the gendarmes from Sokoły who arrived after the fact. After a while Krysiewicz’s family moved his remains to the Catholic cemetery in Waniewo.
