Elsewhere: „When a priest was murdered in Mielnica on March 19, 1943, the bishop ordered priest Henryk Grabowski, a neighbor from Powursk, to protect the Blessed Sacrament there from profanation. Father Grabowski asked me to go with him to Mielnica. We went at the beginning of April 1943. In Mielnica, the presbytery was bare, books scattered on the floor, chickens with their heads cut off in the kitchen. At dawn, on the day of the indulgence on March 19, 1943, the priest, the housekeeper, the pharmacist with his wife and children were taken. They were all murdered nearby […] After returning to my home, I learned that two days after our departure, all parishioners of Mielnica” were murdered.
