Full Testimony	In the evening, the rumour that all the sick people were shot and pushed into the previously prepared pits in Niepołomice Forest spread like a wildfire. Doctors and nurses were shot in their necks over the pit into which they were falling immediately. That spot in Niepołomice Forest is called "Kozia Górka" ("Kozia Hill"). [...] On 28 August 1942 the rumour of the carnage in Niepołomice Forest spread like a wildfire. Eye-witnesses told me that as long as the Jews were driving along the road they were hoping they would be "resettled", but when they left Niepołomice and the trucks turned and entered the forest, they stopped deluding themselves. (...) The pits had been prepared for them, just like the ones from yesterday, prepared for the sick people and doctors from the hospital. Piles of turf were prepared to cover the graves. It was used to cover the surface of the pit and then trees were planted in those mass graves.
