- Story
- "Inside each of the boxcars stood an soldier who was ready to shoot with his automatic weapon at anyone who would dare to jump out and flee from the death awaiting him when he reached Treblinka. Even so, there were those who tried their luck at this most dangerous jumping. Many of them were killed immediately when they crashed into telegraph poles. One Jew instructed Monik as to how one should jump out the window of the boxcar. This Jew had prior experience having once succeeded in escaping from a train, but he had been injured and required medical treatment. After he recovered his fate again pushed him into the boxcars of death. Mother quickly packed her money, handed to Monik the package and ordered him to jump out the open window. Monik jumped out, but his knee was injured. He was able to get up and fled in the direction of a nearby forest. On his way he saw many dead Jewish bodies sprawled near the train tracks. He turned away from the horrors he saw and hurried as best he could towards a village he knew in the hope of finding shelter." From April 8, 1843, he hid until liberation, together with Michael Maik, with the peasant Stanisław Kalinowski in Bruszewo.
