Excerpts from the interview with Bronisław Firuta
Transkrypcja
We knew some Jewish people, because they used to come to us to buy honey and fruit, and we bought garments from them. (...) When Nazis came, they were put in the ghetto. They gathered them all, their parents and grandparents, and Józek and Junia among them. And then their parents said: ‘Listen, Józek, listen, Junia. Run away from this camp, you are still young, maybe you’ll be able to escape; we won’t manage to do it, but you must run and go to the Firutas, you were on good terms with them.’ And so they escaped and managed to get to us. Both Junia and Józek. And stayed with us. (...) They walked around freely, but we had to be watchful, we had kind of patrols, so in case of danger we told them at once to hide. It was best in the summer, because in summertime one could rush between the bushes or behind the rock that was there, or into the field with haystacks. But in winter it was another matter. (...) At that time it was like that. In the barn, in the attic, in the basements. There were different hideouts, and at night they came to the apartment. But we had guns and we were ready in case of Germans attacking us, they were supposed to run to the woods and we would be defending ourselves.
