(2 young people were shot for trying to provide them with food), they were
led to a train, loaded into carriages and taken away in an unknown direction.
As we have now found out, some of them were taken to Opoczno and
Rawa Mazowiecka.
To be noted: “He” himself led the Aktion. It is simply impossible to convey
the methods “he” used; for example, he did not allow people to take any
clothing with them, and there were cases where people when thrown out
almost naked and sent away in that state.
In one of the flats there was a woman in confinement with a new-born
child (of 2 days). When he was told that the woman could not get up because
she was in confinement, he grabbed the baby and threw it out of the window,
and the woman was carried out.
[2] Another case: A paralysed man who could not move was beaten until
he died.
The next day he set to work on the “big ghetto”. The inhabitants of all
the houses bordering on Piłsudskiego Street were driven out.
Many of the inhabitants hid outside town for 2 days, fearing they would
be deported, just as he did with the inhabitants of the “small ghetto”.
