Can the alleged fear of the Soviets explain the collective participation of
red Jews in East Poland in armed sabotage levelled against the Polish army
in 1939. Let us not forget that it was the only army at that time that
resisted the German Nazis. In the book published in 1999 titled Przemilczane
Zbrodnie. Zydzi i Polacy Na Kresach 1939-1941 / The Concealed Genocide. The
Jews and the Poles in East Poland 1939-1941 / I elaborated on the extent of
this Jewish sabotage ( e.g. in Grodno, Skidel, Rózyszcza, Skalat, Kolomyja,
Izbica, Luboml ). Recently the Jewish armed treason was condemned by prof.
Tomasz Strzembosz in Przemilczana Kolaboracja / Held-back Quislingism (
Rzeczpospolita of 27-28 Jan. 2000 ) who stressed that their occupation of
towns and villages, setting up revolutionary committees there, arresting and
executing Polish state officials, assaults on small and big army units ( as
in Grodno ) were acts of rebellion against the Polish state. Prof.
Strzembosz referred to the recent findings of another historian Marek
Wierzbicki, who includes in his text an account of the armed struggle for
Skidel, and of the Jewish rebellion in Jeziory, Lunna, Wiercieliszki, Wielka
Brzostowica, Ostryn, Dubno, Dereczyn, Zelwa, Motol, Wolpa, Janów Poleski,
Wolkowysk, Horodel, Drohiczyn Poleski ( here and elsewhere all in Polish
transcription - L.K. ). No one saw a single German there, these armed
operations were all directed against the Polish state. This was armed
quislingism, siding with the enemy, treason in the days of defeat. In my
book, about to come out, titled Polacy i Zydzi na Kresach / Poles and Jews
in East Poland I will report more examples of Jewish armed sabotage against
Poland elsewhere. It affected large territories of East Poland and truly
stabbed the Polish army. Why does Jan Tomasz Gross holds all that back ?
Apparently, the historical truth is meaningless for this whitewasher of
Jews. What does matter is polonophobic prejudice and slanderous
brainwashing.

Among the most atrocious tokens of this pro-Soviet collaboration on the part
of a number of Jews in East Poland were the assassinations of both Polish
officers and the rank and file as well as ordinary civilians which they
committed. These facts have been mentioned by Prof. Strzembosz and I also
reported these in Przemilczane Zbrodnie / Concealed Genocide in a separate
chapter a year and a half ago. Thus I will not give account of the murders
described there such as the killing of the Polish student leaders at the
Lwów University of Technology for their alleged anti-Semitism or
slaughtering the Dominican friars of the Czortków monastery, brutally
murdered by the Jews of NKVD. Here I will concentrate on some of the
recently revealed instances of massacres of Poles committed by red Jews. I
have collected these for the publication of Polacy i Zydzi na Kresach
1939-1941 / Poles and Jews in East Poland 1939-1941,which is about to come
out.

After 17 September: murdered officers

Ryszard Pedowski, brother-in-law of Tadeusz Piotrowski - the author of
Poland's Holocaust, a valuable work on Poland during WWII - reported on the
assassination of 12 Polish officers by the Jews in Grabowiec ( Hrubieszów
county, province of Lublin ). In his account the Polish officers were
murdered in the bakery of a well-to-do Grabowiec Jew called Pergamen. Then,
another Jew, locally known as 'Kuka' ( water supplier ) transported the
corpses to the cemetery and left them there in a ditch. When found, the dead
bodies were dressed in nothing but underwear. The locals secured a Christian
burial for them. "Kuka' was later poisoned - he knew too much.. According to
Pedowski both the officers and the water supplier were murdered by the poor
local Jews -

sympathisers of the communists ( based on Piotrowski T., Poland's Holocaust,
Jefferson, North Carolina, 1998, p. 55 )

Prof. Piotrowski stressed that the Grabowiec murder of the Polish officers
ought to be subjected to investigation. Let us ask then if it has been or
when it will be brought to the attention of IPN ( the Institute for National
Remembrance ) ?

The Grabowiec case was also a subject of the correspondence I got from
Boleslaw Boratynski of Grabowiec. He emphasised that the reason why 'Kuka'
was killed was that he was too talkative about the massacre and complained
he had not been paid enough for his service ( Boratynski's account of 30
Dec. 1999, in my possession ) It was accentuated that these facts are
well-known and still remembered by the people of Grabowiec.

There are many scattered pieces of information about the atrocious treatment
the Polish rank and file and officers received ( including murder ) from
communist Jews. Julian Grzesik wrote in Alija o Martyrologii Zydów
Europejskich / Alija on the Martyrology of Europe's Jews, published in
Lublin in 1989, that instances of Jews apprehending, disarming and sometimes
killing Polish soldiers were reported. The author of this text has a first
hand account of the murdering, in 1939, of a sergeant who had refused to
hand his gun over to a Jew. J.K. Kuncewicz recalled in Tygodnik Kulturalny
of 7 May 1989: ''On 23 September we were surrounded by the Soviet tanks and
rushed to a mill in Hrubieszów. We were handled by the local Jewish militia,
who demonstrated in a very vulgar fashion who was in power ( ... ) Most of
those who did not risk escaping are on the Katyn list. Numerous Jews, not
only communists, soon filled the vacancies in the Soviet administration
assisting the NKVD in seizing Polish officers and administrative officials.
A shocking account requiring further documentation was sent to me in 1999 by
Rev. Pawel Piotrowski from Curitiba, Brasil. He wrote: ''Working for a dozen
years in Rio de Janeiro I was the chaplain of the 9th Cavalry Regiment's
retired combatants there. Their long-time president was Janusz Pawelkiewicz.
In 1939 he commanded the rear guard of one of the Polish units retreating to
the south-east. Unfortunately, I cannot report any more detailed data but I
know they are available in the London archive which has throughout the years
been composed from the testimonies of the Polish soldiers fighting on the
various fronts of WWII.

He recalled his outrage on seeing banners welcoming the saviours from the
East, who have not yet encroached on these territories. The unit
Pawelkiewicz headed strayed from the main forces, stayed behind so that a
gap was created between him and the main group. Apparently that made the
residents of Chelm think there were no Polish troops any more, that all have
escaped. On entering the town his unit made for a local school where the
soldiers saw an appalling sight: on the floor of a classroom lay 12 dead
bodies of Polish officers nailed down through the eyes and heads. The
soldiers found a janitor and asked who had done that. He answered ''the
Jews''. Questioned about the whereabouts of the murderers he said: ''Only
Jews live in this street.''

It should be added that Janusz Pawelkiewicz spoke about it in public, and
more detailed accounts are to be found in the London archive I have
mentioned. (... ) ( the text of the account by Rev. Pawel Piotrowski has
been published in a Nasza Polska's column "Polish Holocaust' of 15 Sep.
1999 )

Ryszard Jasinski, president of the Towarzystwo przyjaciól Frampola / Friends
of Frampol Association /, reported in his story of the Frampol September
1939 some passages from Jerzy Carwieniec Czerwinski's memoirs that give an
account of the tragic events of end 1939: ''29 September two Jews of the
'Red Militia' brought to their station, based in a local school, an officer
cadet - platoon commander - heading West across the Vistula on his way back
from the East via Frampol . There the militants, with their leader A.R.
'Nuchym', when questioning him demanded that he remove the eagle from his
cap and tear off his shoulder straps with platoon commander rank insignia.
The cadet refused and when A.R. wanted to do it by force he reportedly hit
'Nuchym' on the face. The infuriated militia men skewered the Pole with
bayonets, "Nuchym' himself excelling in sadism. This is how - not from enemy
bluets but murdered by a Cain - died Wincenty Panasiuk, born 1912 in Opatów,
student of the Warsaw University (...) In the night, afraid of the locals,
they dragged the dead body to the so called 'priest field', dug a pit there
in its north-eastern part behind what is now a water pump, cast him there,
put a horse carcass on top and buried to cover up. The student Wincenty
Panasiuk of Opatów was to have been a teacher and ironically he was murdered
in a school. When the dead body of the soldier was dug out of the pit where
he was to have been hid 'for ever' by the assassins, his uniform betrayed
numerous stab wounds ( in Jasinski R., Frampolski Wrzesien 1939 / Frampol
September 1939 - continued in a regional monthly Wokól Frampola issued by
Towarzystwo Przyjaciól Frampola / Friends of Frampol Association, July 1998,
vol. 3, pp 20-22 ).

Mr Michal Lawacz in an account he sent me 29 July 1999 described an
appalling incident of murdering, before his very eyes, of a young Polish
soldier by a group of Jewish militia men in Chelm. Lawacz recalls: ''
....arrival of Soviet tanks in Chelm through flowered arches that the Jews
had prepared, cordial welcoming of tankmen and soldiers.... The Jews go wild
with jubilation... Suddenly all Jews from teenagers to forty-somethings have
red bands on their arms. Instantly they rule the streets as militia, almost
all of them armed with guns, clubs, bayonets and knives, craving for blood
and murder. Their aim is conspicuous - looking for a victim. It was in the
afternoon, about 6 p.m. We saw a band of a dozen or so Jewish teens attack
with knives, clubs and bayonets a young soldier in the street we were going
along. Each of the Jews wanted to have his share in the murder. They
attacked him all when he was all alone. It was about 50 - 100 metres before
us. We were walking in the same direction as the soldier. On seeing that and
hearing the cries of the butchered soldier and the voices of the Jews I
fainted. My father lugged me to a gateway in a house (...) and then onto the
staircase where I came to (...) I still have this picture in my memory.''

You could go on and on with similar stories of Poles murdered by communist
Jews. Krzysztof Jasiewicz, in his precious Lista Strat Ziemianstwa Polskiego
1939 - 1956 / Losses of Polish Landed Gentry 1939-1956, mentions Witold
Rozwadowski ( 1912 - 1939 ) arrested alongside his father, most probably in
September 1939. According to Jasiewicz, Rozwadowski was murdered in the
Oszmian prison by his Jewish friend - a militia man in Oszmian ( cf
Jasiewicz K., Lista Strat Ziemianstwa Polskiego 1939 - 1956, Warszawa 1995,
p.887 )

Felicja Starosielec, in an account of 21 August 1999 she has sent me,
reports that her brother was taken out of his junior secondary school,
arrested, accused and shot by the Jewish militia.

22 Aug. 1999 Tadeusz Kalinowski of Skierbieszów, Zamosc county ( powiat ),
sent me a testimony signed by Józef Chudzik of Majdan Sitaniecki which sheds
light on the circumstances of murdering two young Polish soldiers about 17
Sep. When walking unarmed in uniforms they were killed by a group of armed
Jews in Wierzba near Zamosc. Mr Chudzik who witnessed the murder also refers
to other witnesses by their names.

Janina Dlugosz-Adamowska in her account of 15 August describing the tragedy
of her family from East Poland recalls her cousin Maria (maiden name
Zborowski ) deported to Siberia and her husband Rudolf - killed by Jews in
his home in Lwów ( a doctor; professional competition to Jewish doctors and
an 'oppressor' since he came from an aristocratic family ).

Waclaw Zanczuk, in the account he sent me 26 August 1999, described an
atrocious murder ,which must have been perpetrated for robbery, on a Polish
woman and her child by a Ukrainian-Jewish patrol in the vicinity of Wolynka
in October 1939. Zanczuk, in September a defender of the Brzesc fortress,
managed to get out of Soviet captivity with his friend Wladyslaw Schlichtyn
and was following the railway track leading to Wlodawa. He writes: '' Going
along the railway track near Wolynka we saw a patrol of two people with guns
at hand ( before he wrote it was a Ukrainian-Jewish patrol - J.R.N. )
following a path that led to the rail track (..). From the opposite
direction came a woman with a little girl holding a loaf of bread in her
arms. We estimated the distance at about 120 - 150 metres. We thought the
patrol would first meet the woman. Still, we feel a bit worried - we decide
to slow down. We see the patrol stop the woman, we hear no voices but in a
while there are two shots ( ... ) The woman and her little girl died because
she was Polish and had a fur coat. (...) Although it was so long ago I
remember everything as if it had happened today - they were no more than
18-20 years old, one was a Jew the other Ukrainian.''

Massacres of prisoners

Among the most gruesome atrocities that communist Jews perpetrated on Poles
during the war was their active share in massacring Polish prisoners after
the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Those were large scale
massacres. The authors of a documentary monograph on the subject - Krzysztof
Popinski, Aleksander Kokurin and Aleksander Gurjanow estimate that in the
course of the hasty 'evacuation' of prisoners 20-30 000 Polish citizens,
mostly Poles and Ukrainians, died. They were murdered both in prisons and
during the evacuation itself. According to Stanislaw Kalbarczyk, during the
June 'evacuation' as many as 50-100 000 people died. E.g. only 90 out of
2000 survived the massacre in Luck prison.

On account of the massive character of murdering the Polish prisoners ( and
Ukrainians too ) in prisons and during evacuation in June 1941 it is all the
more important to investigate what those communist Jews were specifically
responsible for in those massacres. And their role was deplorably
significant. In the words of Mark Paul referring to the felonies of 1941:
''There are a number of authentic accounts that report on the local Jews in
the Soviet service who participated in executions of the prisoners,
repeatedly committed on a large scale by Soviet security forces in that
period of time ( cf Mark Paul: Jewish-Polish relations in the
Soviet-occupied Poland 1939-1941published in The Story of Two Shtetls,
Bransk and Ejszyszki, Toronto-Chicago 1998, part 2, p. 218 ).

In Zbrodnicza Ewakuacja Wiezien i Aresztów NKWD Na Kresach Wschodnich II
Rzeczpospolitej w Czerwcu-Lipcu 1941 / Criminal Evacuation of the NKVD
Prisons and Arrests in the Easernt Parts of the Second Republic in June-July
1941 you read accounts of bolshevik Jews murdering prisoners in Luck,
Oszmian and Wolzyn. Names - settled during investigations - have been
published of some of the Jews who were on duty in the prisons where the
massacres took place. Among others, there were Szloma Szlut, Karp - a Jewish
woman, Mohylow - a Jewish driver, and a Krelensztejn, also of Jewish
descent. Two Jewish women from Luck excelled in brutality: Blumenkranz, aged
20, daughter of a shoe shop owner in ul. Jagiellonska, and Spigel ( of whom
little is known ). They shot prisoners in the prison yard.

Apart from the massacres in Luck, Oszmian and Wolzyn, other places where
Jews have been reported to have murdered Poles include Czortków, Tarnopol
and around Bransk.

Rev. Waclaw Szetelnicki has written that 21 June 1941 at the outbreak of the
German-Soviet war the retreating Soviets murdered the imprisoned Poles and
Ukrainians. In the Tarnopol prison three Jews from Trembowla were identified
to have been involved in genocide: Kramer -a horse cabby, Dawid Kuemmel, and
Dawid Rozenberg ( cf Rev. Szetelnicki W., Trembowla. Kresowy Bastion Wiary i
Polskosci / Trembowla. A Stronghold of Faith and Polish Spirit., Wroclaw
1992, p. 213 ). The names of the murderers are well-known. One can't help
wondering whether the IPN ( the Institute for National Remembrance ) has
launched an investigation of this case and, if it has, why does the general
public know little about it ?

Some shocking information about a murder that has been perpetrated on 40
Poles is to be found in a last year's text by Zbigniew Romaniuk. He is
widely known for his systematic efforts to preserve the Jewish past of
Bransk and for preparing the ground for a true dialogue between Poles and
Jews. Deeply concerned about these aims he put too much trust a few years
ago in the intentions of Marian Marzynski who was making the film Shtetl,
which a couple of years later turned out to be slanderously polonophobic.
All the more trustworthy then are the remarks made by Romaniuk, who when
doing research on Bransk in 1939 said: '' Glówna Komisja Badania Zbrodni
Przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu / Chief Commission for the Investigation of the
Genocide Committed on the Polish Nation / is now investigating the shocking
murder of 40 people of Ciechanowiec, Bransk, and the surrounding areas. In
June 1941 the NKVD accompanied by two Jewish policemen from Bransk were
escorting the group to the Bialystok prison. On their way they encountered
military operations and had to retreat. Near Folwarki Tylwickie some
prisoners were shot while others, for the lack of bullets, were skewered
down with bayonets and battered to death with butts'' ( the text of W.
Wierzewski's interview with Z. Romaniuk published in The story...op.cit,
part I, p. 26 )

In a separate text Romaniuk reported some names of the people murdered then.
They were: Helena Zaziemska, a Szlezinger ( maiden name Klukowska ) - both
teachers, and a businessman Ignacy Plonski.

Formerly resident in East Poland Maria Antonowicz wrote to me in the account
of 15 Aug. 1999 about the part Jewish militants played in murdering Polish
prisoners in Berezwecz: '' almost all men in our group ( including my
father ) were transported to the prison in Berezwecz ( in what used to be a
monastery ) near Glebokie and that was where the ( in
vain )crying-for-vengeance torture started. We know all that from my mother,
now dead like most of my parents' generation, who would have had so much to
say but had to keep silent for half of the century and in the end took most
of the important facts concerning the 'white spots' to their graves. When
Germans took Berezwecz over the local Poles looked for the near and the dear
ones. In the prison they found mutilated corpses tied by wire and cast into
pits. Some of them had no limbs, ears or tongues. In all probability they
were atrociously tortured before death. As reported by witnesses the
massacre was perpetrated by the NKVD and the Jewish militants. The ones who
had not been murdered for the lack of time ( reportedly 2000 people ) were
rushed east. (...) On the road next to the village Nikolajewo the NKVD
murdered the whole column of prisoners (...) I do not know of a single
instance of a Pole saved by a Jew, and there were opportunities to do so
during the Soviet occupation or the years of the People's Republic. Nobody
has even apologised to us for the Polish Holocaust ( except Germans ). Not
only did We - East Poles - lose our relatives but also lands, homes,
remembrances of our family, all our assets and even graves, now covered by
the dust of time so that any trace we left will be completely forgotten.
(...) The Polish people know of the Jewish Holocaust, of Action Vistula (
'akcja Wisla' ) but know nothing about Action Siberia. Poles are familiar
with the Kielce massacre but do not know how many Polish kids died in
Siberia of hunger and cold, or the blood bath that the victims of
deportations, prisons and gulag went through. And yet the Jews working for
and collaborating with the NKVD and the communist security in post-war
Polish People's Republic did largely contribute to this death toll and sea
of suffering. The information reported by Mrs Antonowicz about the extremely
brutal extermination of the Polish prisoners of Berezwecz have been
confirmed in other sources, e.g. Prof. Ryszard Szawlowski's monograph on the
Polish-Soviet war of 1939, where he writes about the Soviets perpetrating
atrocious tortures on the Polish prisoners before murdering them including
mangling them, picking eyes out and severing limbs.

Those examples are the tip of the iceberg of what communist Jews did to
Poles in 1939 - 1941. These matters need to be further researched,
investigated and verified. There are numerous accounts of felonies committed
on Poles that need both verification and exposure of their true
perpetrators. Below are some examples of such cases that call for close
scrutiny, which I have selected from books, press articles and testimonies
sent to me.

A former resident of war-time Lwów Zbigniew Schultz wrote to me in a letter
of 28 March 1996 about the anti-Polish activities of the owner of the house
where he lived - a young married Jew whose name was Schechter ( it was a
tenament house in Lwów at 10 ul. Sw. Kingi ). According to Schultz,
Schechter, co-owner of the house, had a big grocery shop he shared with his
mother and brother. Following the arrival of the Soviets in the city he
joined the NKVD. His maid, a Jewish girl called Tinka, visited us those days
and told us her master would come back home in blood-stained shirts. She
argued that he was murdering political prisoners in the Lwów prison.

Wladyslaw Pobóg-Malinowski recalls that several officers and soldiers were
assaulted at dawn and tormented to death by communists - Ukrainians and Jews
( cf Pobóg-Malinowski W., Na Rumunskim Rozdrozu / At Cross-road in Romania
( some memories ), Warszawa 1990, p.9 ) Pobóg-Malinowski just gives
information about the fact of the murder, while it is necessary that we
discover the names of both the victims and the perpetrators.

Another case in need of close scrutiny is one reported to me in a letter I
got in 1999 from Tadeusz Maciejewski and describing the murder committed by
the Jews on 4 Poles in Radun. Among the victims was Maciejewski's neighbour
Bierecewicz.

A murder in Brzostowica Mala

More new facts about communist Jews murdering Poles in East Poland have come
to light thanks to the historian Marek Wierzbicki in Polacy i Bialorusini w
Zaborze Sowieckim / Poles and Belorussians under Societ Occuppation /
published in 2000 in Warsaw.

Wierzbicki focused on the Belorussian collaboration with the Soviets but he
also mentioned instances of some communist Jews murdering Polish officers,
administrative officials etc. in the aftermath to 17 September 1939. He
writes on p. 116 of his book that Goldacki, a Jewish shoemaker from Sokólka,
shot three policemen. The same kind of murder was committed in Bogusze by
Abel Labedych on 24 September.

Particularly appalling were the descriptions of murders of Poles committed
by communist Belarussian ana Jewish marauders. On pages 70-72 he gives an
account of an atrocious murder in Mala Brzostowica perpetrated by a
communist band of Jews and Belorussians led by a Jewish trader called Ajzik.
The communists of both nationalities murdered count Wolkowicki with his
wife, their son-in-law and the mayor, the secretary of the local council's
office, a cashier, a postman and a local teacher. The victims were first
made to drink lime whitewash and then thrown into a lime pit and buried
while most of them were still alive. After that the communist felons trod on
the site to press it smooth since the soil kept cracking. They did so until
all the cracks disappeared.

According to Wierzbicki, the murder of the Wolkowickis must have taken place
after the arrival of the Soviets in the district of Indura i.e. on 19-20
September. But in Kraysztof Jasiewicz's version the Wolkowickis and the
others were murdered in the night of 17 to 18 September. The NKVD not only
did not punish the felons but rewarded some of them by taking them on to the
militia ( ... ) Ajzik himself became the head of the co-operative, which
even more strengthened his social position.

Danilki, Swislocz, Tomaszówka

Poles have also been murdered in the villages of Danilki, Aminowce,
Massalany, Szydlowicze, Zajkowszczyzna. The murdered included Sadowniczy -
the administrator of Danilki - his son and brother, Witold Beretti ( an
Italian by birth ), the wife and the sister-in-law of Antoni Kozlowski - the
lessee of the Golnie estate, then Kozlowski himself, two forest
administrators of the Bispinga estate, and the administrator of the
Zajkowszczyzna estate Apolinary Jazwinski. As Wierzbicki put it in his book:
''the actions of those dregs are said to have been directed by a
revolutionary committee of Wielka Brzostowica.'' Wierzbicki describes the
operations of this committee, which was lead, by the way, by a Jew called
Zak Motyl ( or perhaps was it a nickname ? - J.R.N ) and consisted of Jews,
Belorussians and one Pole. ( Wierzbicki M., op.cit., p. 76 )

On pages 86-87 Wierzbicki mentions criminal activities of a 'revolutionary
committee' in a small town called Zelwa, organised after the armed rebellion
by the local Belorussian and Jewish population which resulted in 12 Poles
shot on 21 September 1939. According to Wierzbicki it maight have been then
that the aristocrat Jerzy Boladz, ex-parliamentarian, and Rev. Jan Krynski -
the parish priest of Zelwa - were assassinated.

Ukrainian and Jewish militants are reported to have murdered a teacher,
resident near Swislocz, and the station-master of Swislocz train station,
previously kidnapped.

Wierzbicki ( op. cit., p. 98 ) referred to the account by a Jewish wood
merchant Jachiel Szlechter of Tomaszówka, Brzeg county, which describes
murders committed by bands of marauders ravaging the counties of Brzeg and
Luboml, inflicting terror and violence on the refugees from the territories
occupied by Germany. Szlachter writes that those marauders of Jewish,
Belorussian and Ukrainian origin exterminated great numbers of the Polish
inteligentsia that had managed to get across the border and whose bodies lie
buried in the pine forest by the road leading from Tomaszówka to Poleniec
and in Szack, 2000 metres away from the cemetery.

Are the murderers of Polish people ever going to be convicted ?

The examples given above indicate that in the years 1939-1941 there were
numerous instances of communist Jews murdering Poles. The truth about that
ought to be revealed now that there are so many defamatory attempts to show
the Polish people as alleged accomplices of Hitler in the genocide of the
Jews. One can't help being outraged at the passivity with regard to this
issue after 1989 demonstrated first by the Glówna Komisja Badania Zbrodni
Przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu / Chief Commission for the Investigation of the
Genocide Committed on the Polish Nation and recently by the IPN / Institute
for National Remembrance/. Are the requirements of the pro-Jewish political
correctness to be an obstacle to exposing and persecuting the Jewish
murderers of Polish people ? Why should we avoid revealing the truth about
the atrocious murders which communist Jews perpetrated on their Polish
neighbours just because we should be particularly cautious about the
sensitivity of the Jews - the victims of the Holocaust. We, as a nation,
underwent Holocaust too - I lost my father then but nobody, and large
sections of Jewish communities in particular, reckons with our sensitivity
or remembers about our sufferings. Not only is the truth about our martyrdom
being held back from the general public but an increasing number of
revolting defamatory charges are being put forward against us. I have always
been and I always will be in favour of investigating all instances of
infamous behaviour on the part of individual Poles whether towards their
fellow countrymen or people of other nations. All extortionists, all
accomplices in genocide in the service of either of the atrocious
totalitarianisms ought to be condemned. However, the remembrance of the
Polish victims calls upon us to adequately demonstrate the genocide of the
Poles as perpetrated by people of other nations, without any differentiation
into the 'better' or the 'worse' ones, the more or less 'elect'. There can
not be two different measures by which to judge. Let us remember and honour
the memory of the Jewish officers and the rabbi Baruch Steinberg - the
victims of Katyn. But do not let us fail to expose the responsibility of
Jewish prosecutors from Kozielsk or Starobielsk ( all three town names being
the most prominent symbols of the Soviet extermination of the Polish elite -
L.K. ) zealously denouncing the Polish officers for their
'counterrevolutionary chauvinism'. ( see the reports by H.A. Eljman ).

It is high time we set out to systematically compile statements by the last
surviving witnesses of the Polish Holocaust - the most concealed, Soviet
genocide carried out by communist Jews.

After more than 60 years following the beginning of the dark series of
atrocities inflicted on the Polish Nation it is all the more necessary to
launch an appeal for stepping up the process of exposing the felonies
committed then, investigating the clues leading to their perpetrators. Each
piece of information ought to be examined rather than neglected now that
there is still some possibility of reaching the witnesses of those tragic
events. Many witnesses of the genocide of the Polish people have died and
some are well in years, like Tadeusz Maciejewski now 87, who has sent me the
information about the 4 murdered Poles in Radun. It is high time we speeded
up investigating those felonies.

The Koniuchy massacre - many accounts, no-one guilty ?

It is astonishing that the chairman of the IPN Prof. Leon Kieres, who has
enough time for trans-Atlantic travels and issuing hasty and untimely
declarations before the investigation is over, has not yet brought up the
issues of mass murders of Polish people in any public forum. I mean not only
the tens of thousands of Poles massacred by Ukrainian chauvinists but also
the mass murder of 1944 staged in the village of Koniuchy where communist
Jewish marauders exterminated a whole Polish village. Well, identifying the
perpetrators is of no particular difficulty - some of them have bragged
about their atrocious 'deeds'.

Chaim Lazar described in his book Destruction and Resistance ( New York,
Shengold Publishers, 1985, pp. 174 - 175 ): ''on one occasion 120 guerrillas
of all the camps armed with the best weapons made for the village. There
were approx. 50 Jews led by Jaakov Prenner. At midnight they arrived at the
outskirts of the village and took the right positions. The order demanded
that no living soul be spared. All domestic animals were to be put to death
and all property destroyed. The go-ahead came shortly before dawn. Within a
couple of minutes the village was surrounded form three sides. On the fourth
side was a river and a bridge, controlled by the guerrillas. The militants,
having prepared torches in advance, set fire to homes, stables and pantries
and opened up intensive barrage of homesteads. The half-naked peasants
jumped out of the windows trying to run for their lives. All over the place
there were only bullets for them, though. Many jumped into the river but the
same was to happen to them too. The mission was accomplished in short time.
Sixty families numbering about 300 people altogether were mown down; nobody
survived.'' ( retranslated from Polish, L.K. )

Let us report another description of the slaughter found in the book by a
Jewish writer Izaac Kowalski A Secret Press in Nazi Europe: The Story of a
Jewish United Organisation ( New York,Central Guide Publishers, 1969,
p.333-334 ) also cited in Anthology of Armed Jewish Resistance, 1939-1945,
edited by I. Kowalski et al., ( Brooklyn, NY, Jewish Combatants Publishing
House, 1991, vol. IV, pp. 390-391 ): ''The commander of our base ordered all
men capable of combat to get ready to carry out the operation within an
hour... I saw partisans coming from all directions, from various factions...
Our detachment was ordered to destroy all living creatures and burn the
village to the ground. At a fixed time the partisans started flooding the
village with shotgun and machine gun barrage and also shooting incendiary
missiles. This resulted in the thatched roofs catching fire. The villagers
and the small German garrison responded with heavy firing but within two
hours the village and the fortified bunker were completely destroyed. Our
losses amounted to two lightly injured.'' ( retranslated from Polish, L.K. )

Another Jewish writer Rich Cohen gave this account in the book The Avengers
( New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 2000, p.145 ): '' The partisans - Russians,
Jews and Lithuanians - attacked the village from the fields with the sun
behind their backs. The machine guns fired from the guard towers. The
partisans replied with firing. The peasants hid in their homes. The
partisans threw grenades on rooftops and the houses exploded in flames.
Other homes were set aflame by torches. The peasants were escaping through
the windows and down the narrow streets. The partisans chased them shooting
down men, women and children. Many peasants were making off towards the
German garrison by the cemetery, in the outskirts. The commander of the
partisans had foreseen this move and had placed some people behind the
tombs. When the partisans opened fire the peasants returned, only to
encounter the soldiers going from the back. Hundreds of peasants died caught
in cross-fire.'' ( retranslated from Polish, L.K. )

The people of the Rudnicka Woods dared to defend themselves.

Some names of the Jewish partisans from the Rudnicka Woods are known from
Izaac Kowalski's A Secret Press in Nazi Europe ( op.cit., p. 405-407 ) :
Israel Weiss, Schlomo Brand, Chaim Lazar, Jacob Prenner, Izaac Kowalski,
Zalman Wolozni.

What caused this gruesome massacre in Koniuchy ? The Polish peasants from
the village of Koniuchy near the Rudnicka Woods had organised a self-defence
unit whose mission was to protect the village from the constant forage
requisitions by the partisan detachments, permanently calling to the town.
Therefore, at end-April the village was reported by Jewish sources to have
been selected for an act of vengeance. The Jewish author Chaim Lazar ( op.
cit., pp. 174-175 ) presents the village as an alleged centre of plotting
against the partisans. Kowalski writes that Koniuchy was 10 kilometres away
from the partisans' base but nowhere does he mention any instances of its
inhabitants spying or chasing any Jewish or Soviet partisans ( In the words
of a Polish-Canadian author Mark Paul such activities would have been
suicidal for the locals ). Kowalski charges the peasants with shooting at
the partisans when on various dangerous, though unspecified, missions.
According to Mark Paul there was no compelling reason why the partisans
should constantly pass through a village 10 kilometres away from their base
other than requisitions of provisions. According to a Polish historian
Kazimierz Krajewski ( in Na Ziemi Nowogródzkiej / In the Land of Nowogródek
, p. 511-512 ) Koniuchy was no fortress and the whole 'arsenal' of the
farmers consisted of a few rusty guns. Krajewski reminds us also that
shortly before the assault on Koniuchy the Soviet partisans attacked a small
village Niewoniance, which supported the Home Army ( AK ). Two families - 8
people - of the Polish Resistance soldiers were murdered and their homes
were burned to the ground.
