Murder Story of Stanisławów Jews on Siemiradzki Street in Stanisławów

In 1941-1942, I lived on 1 Ludna Street…, and I went to work every day along Siemiradzki Street. I personally saw the Germans herd large groups of people… along Siemiradzki Street to the Jewish cemetery. I happened to see Germans – and the so-called SS policemen from among the local population, who had sold out to the Germans – shoot the people with submachine guns and pistols, and murder them with truncheons, as they marched along. They grabbed children by the hair, snatched them out of their mothers’ arms, threw them onto the pavement, and then either trampled them or shot them with pistols. Then, the bodies of the victims lay in the street for several days, until the people picked them up and took them to the Jewish cemetery. As I have already said, the people [Jews] were herded along in very large groups, and anyone who tried to run into a side street, or fall behind the group, so as not to go to the cemetery, would be murdered on the spot.…
