On the night of September 7-8, 1943, several dozen German gendarmes surrounded the Krysiewicz house. Stanisław was dragged out into the yard, beaten with a stick they tried to force him to confess to hiding Jews. They did not succeed, and the Germans killed Stanisław with a shot in the head. They robbed and set fire to the farm, and shot the fleeing Jews.

 

During the German occupation, Władysława and Stanisław Krysiewicz ran a farm in the village of Waniewo near Białystok. They lived there with their five children: nine-year-old Alicja, eight-year-old Irena, six-year-old Krystyna, four-year-old Teresa and three-year-old Henry.

In November 1942, Jewish friends asked Krysiewicz to hide them. Risking their lives, the marriage took care of Lejzer and Benjamin Rozanowicz together with their wives, Rebecca and Szlomo Jaskółek, a woman by the name of Olsza and a girl from Warsaw with an unknown name. Stanisław prepared a special hideout for the fugitives under the barn, and Władysława obtained food for them.

On the night of September 7-8, 1943, several dozen German gendarmes surrounded the Krysiewicz house. Stanisław was dragged out into the yard, beaten with a stick they tried to force him to confess to hiding Jews. They did not succeed, and the Germans killed Stanisław with a shot in the head. They robbed and set fire to the farm, and shot the fleeing Jews.

Władysława Krysiewicz and the children were loaded onto a cart. One of the gendarmes offered a neighbor to look after the children. He threatened to shoot them on the spot or take them to prison. The neighbor agreed without hesitation. Władysława Krysiewicz was transported to Tykocin. Tortured, she did not release other people that helped the Jews. After two days, she was murdered. The children were placed under the care of extended family members, but eventually they came to orphanages. They found each other only after many years.

This Sunday in Waniewo, as part of the #ZawołaniPoImieniu project, we will commemorate the Krysiewicz couple!

Forgotten Polish Righteous from Wierzbica and Narta.

At the end of January 1943, the German military police conducted extensive search for Jews in the village of Wierzbica in the Miechów district. 

Although many people managed to hide, Germans seized Jews attempting to run away from the village: married couple named Wandelsman with their daughter and son-in-law Naftul.Two people were shot on the spot - Pawel Wandelsman and Róża Naftul - others taken by gendarmes.

On January 29, 1943, German gendarmes returned to Wierzbica accompanied by Naftul who agreed to show them who was hiding Jewish families.

First, he pointed out the farm of the Książek family, who, as it turned out, "[...] kept the whole Jewish family with children". During the search, Germans found there Jewish couple and shot them together with all the Poles hiding them - Franciszek Ksiażek (50 years old father of the family), Julia Książek (his 40 years old wife), and their sons - 21 years old Jan and 18 years old Zygmunt.

Afterwards, Germans went to the house of the Nowak family. There they found Jewish man named Wandelsman. He was immediately shot together with his Polish hosts: Mr Nowak and his five-year-old daughter.

Next place where Naftul led Germans was a small farm in Wierzbica owned by Kucharski family where Naftul was hiding before his capture. Germans found there Izydor Kucharski together with his wife Anna and their five sons - Mieczyslaw (15), Bronislaw (12), Boleslaw (9) and twins Józef and Stefan (7), as well as Anna's mother - Julianna Ostrowska (86). When Naftul confirmed that he was hiding at Kucharskis' for six weeks all adults - Julianna, Anna and Izydor - were brought out of the house and shot. Then Germans brought out all the children one by one and gendarmes shot them at the very place where the parents were lying - this is how the events were described by the Bronislaw, whosurvived despite being shot at the left temple. He lost his sight. His father, Izydor, also survived, being only wounded and loosing sight in his right eye.

From Wierzbica, the gendarmes went to the hamlet of Narta (part of the village of Wolica). They stopped in front of Balbina Bielawska's house. There they shot Balbina, her pregnant daughter Władysława and her son-in-law, Jan Gądek. It turned out that Władysława and Jan gave shelter to Jews from the Wandelsman family. Most likely, Wandelsmans were close friends of Jan; they had lived in Wierzbica for a long time and did not want to move to the ghetto as ordered by Germans.

Still in Narta, Germans stopped Stanislaw Tochowic, local butcher. Heading back to the gendarmerie station in Kozłów, in the village of Żabieniec Germans shot Stanisław and Naftul.

Apart from Stanisław who became accidental victim of the murderous expedition, 15 Poles died on that day for their efforts to save their Jewish neighbours:

Bielawska Balbina

Gądek Władysława

Gądek Jan

Książek Franciszek

Książek Julia

Książek Jan

Książek Zygmunt

Kucharska Anna

Kucharski Bolesław

None of the murdered Poles, who were killed as a punishment for helping the Jews, has been in any way commemorated until now. Their sacrifice is not recognized by Yad Vashem.

For decades they were forgotten. Only recently - on May 5, 2019 - the commemorative plaque was unveiled in Wierzbica.

Murder of Poles in Różaniec

Różaniec, a village in the administrative district Tarnogród, located 16 miles south of Biłgoraj in Poland, witnessed some of the typical German "pacification" actions during WWII.

A prelude took place on 20th July 1942. On this day Germans murdered 25 Poles from Różaniec, burned some houses and stole farm animals, including 1000 cows, 500 pigs and 3000 hens.
They also deported 10 Poles from różaniec to the infamous German Death Camp KL Majdanek.

Within few months another operation took place. On 18th of March 1943, German army, gendarmerie and SS surrounded Różaniec. They went on an organised killing spreee - murdering 68 Poles, including elderly and children as young as 5.
Germans systematically set fire to the houses and farm buildings shooting occupants who were trying to escape. At the end of the day 260 of the buildings were burned to the ground, many with farm animals trapped inside.

Not at all Such a rare case among Poles

He was born on January 4, 1898 at 21:00 in Mirków near Wieruszów, he had ten siblings.
He is liked by students, who has great trust and is valued not only as a priest and teacher, but also as a person who understands others.
He was an exceptional man in every respect.

September 1, 1939 - war!
Father Antoni Rzadki, together with other residents of Śrem, was arrested as a hostage. On October 20, 1939, Germans appointed 19 people to be shot from hostages.

The authors of the film reached the facts and witnesses of these events.

Years later, one of the Nazi oppressors testified in Kraków that Fr. Rare in the last hour before the hostages were shot, he offered his life for the father of a large family.

THE FILM IS A TRIAL ANSWER TO QUESTIONS: WHO WAS WHO DID IT DO?

"Don. Antoni Rzadki had his Westerplatte: when he gained knowledge far from his family home, when he fought as a soldier in the Blue Army of Józef Haller in the battles of 1920 near Warsaw, as a priest and educator of youth and finally, when he offered his life for the life of a large family father. And it does not matter that both of them were shot - on the contrary, this is particularly emphasized by the fact that he did not desert. "

If the Polish ambassador mentioned the Jews of szmalcownik, would it be occupied by a serial suicide?

PAKT with the Third Reich - an alternative, or the worst dream of Poles?

So why the alliance with Hitler could lead to the destruction of the Polish nation, and also why Beck could not have it.

Debate on the so-called The "German option", which allegedly could have been chosen by the decision makers of the Second Republic, has been going on for several years and is mainly focused on the level of alternative historical considerations mainly based on the knowledge of what the actual decisions have caused. I think that evaluating our ancestors according to this concept is simply unfair to them. In addition, for me, these are intellectual astray, leading to no useful conclusions (especially when people read attractive, alternative creations, without knowing the basic facts and real historical circumstances).
