Full Testimony	One person was taken from the police station and transported in a car to a levee located 150-200 metres behind the City Hall toward Lesiew. The car stopped by an old, spreading poplar, the detainee got out of the car, stood by the tree and was shot in the head; when lying on the ground he was shot once again. [...] Walking along the riverbed, I got close to the cemetery [...] I was able to recognize the faces of the detainees. [...] Bodies were placed on the sideway of the levee, behind the tree and the car went for the next victim. [...] Two executed people were not from the youth group. Namely Mojsze Tabacznik, about 35 years old and Lewek Lejzerowicz, about 50 years old. Attached an incomplete list of the executed: Geile Amzel, Henryk Artman, Lewek Lejzerowicz, Fajga Najman, Rachela Rabenbach, Mojsze Tabacznik [...] The soldiers were very drunk and called for the chairman of the Judenrat and the commander of the Jewish police and ordered them to bury the bodies of the executed people in a mass grave.
