Full Testimony	Around 22 October 1942 I received a letter from Rubin Rozenberg from the camp in Szczeglacin [...] I replied in the same form [...] I gave my letter to my Polish friend - Władek [...] After some time, Władek returned [...] he told me he barely managed to give the letter through the gate when Germans came in cars and attacked Jews in Szczeglacin. When he heard the moaning and shots, he hid under a wide pine in the forest and observed the action. It was around 9-9:30. He saw Germans beating Jews and making them dig pits. Later, he saw Germans driving off. He wanted to know what had happened. He drove closer on his bike from the side of the ditch. He saw the earth moving, but there were no Jews anymore. [...] There were 800 Jews, mainly from Sokołów.
