Zalesie
The testimony is as follows: I know very well Czerniawski Władysław as well as his family. The father had a butcher's shop in Podkamień, county Brody. Czerniawski Władysław is of Ukrainian origin. He graduated from gymnasium in Brody, and then he graduated from university in Lviv. After the Germans entered in 1942, he was the organizer of a murderous Ukrainian gang. He organized this band with his father–in–law named Rajke, who lived in the Czernic hamlet, Antonówka farm, commune Podkamień, area Brody […] In February 1944, he launched the first action on Poles in Zalesie near Brody, where 25 families were murdered with axes and arrows. I personally saw the said murder the next day when I was going to Brody. The bodies of the murdered were terrible, beyond description.
