As a result of denunciation by local Ukrainians, he was arrested on October 2, 1941 by the Germans on the charge of providing aid to Russian prisoners of war, as well as helping in the forwarding of correspondence deported to forced labor in Germany.

Most of them were led to the Zbrucz River and brutally murdered there by throwing their victims into the river. A similar fate befell our father, the next day my mother and I found his body on the river bank. His hands were tied with barbed wire and his head and back were chopped up with a sharp tool […] From the names of the victims I remember the name of a young teacher, Maria Myczkowska, who taught with my parents and came from the village of Germakówka.
