Memories of German crimes
I remember when one night the Germans brought two boys to the village. They beat them very badly to the point that they were bloodied. They said they were bandits. Then they led them into the field and shot them. These boys are buried in the Trzeszków [cemetery?]. One night a woman came from [illegible] near Bodzentyn and cried a lot. The Germans came at night and burned the village, and threw whomever they met into the fire and killed them. One day daddy came back from Wierzbnik and said that he saw a woman carrying a piece of pork fat in a basket. The Germans stopped their car. They searched her, beat her badly, took her to the forest, and shot her. Another time it was said that the Germans shot two [men?] because they had no identity papers. I saw them taking a cow from [illegible]. All the children were crying loudly because they were very poor, but the Germans [illegible] kicked those children and took the cow away.
