- Story
- "This week, there was an incident involving four Jews, two men and two women, who had succeeded in jumping from a boxcar. They were happy that they had been saved from death and that they did not meet up with Polish gangs. They wandered in the forest, slept in pits and suffered from hunger, until finally they came to Giemzino [Wysokie Mazowieckie district], a village at the edge of the forest, about four kilometers from where we were located. The four survivors calmed down a bit when they found out that they were far from the train line and from a traveled road and, as they had thought previously, there were no Germans in the nearby surroundings, nor were there any robbers. The people sat down under a tree to rest, and suddenly they saw a farmer coming toward them. The man appeared innocent and, for some reason, they trusted him, and told him who they were and what their situation was. He listened carefully to every word they said and gave them the impression that he was shocked and took pity upon them. The farmer asked them to follow him to the village and promised to get them some bread. They did not think of suspecting him, and walked after him, feeble and broken, in the hope of quieting their hunger and finding a corner where there was no danger to their lives. Suddenly, the farmer turned on his heel, pulled out a pistol, and shot a round of bullets. The two men and one of the women collapsed and fell in their places. The second woman, who was young, succeeded in fleeing and found a safe place to hide, and she told us the whole story."
