— «Gentlemen, why are you playing with me so much? Don't skimp for this bullet for me».
Kotwicki replied to these words:
— «I will certainly not regret it».
And they killed her. Turning to my grandfather, [Kotwicki] said:
— «And you, buddy, where are you going?».
— «I am following my daughter‑in‑law also to death»
— «You, grandfather, will go back home».
And my grandfather trotted up to the village and told everything exactly. Among other things, that Paraska was shot by Jasiek from the Bieńkowski family. He was our family, which he joined as the «sewn‑in son‑in‑law»”.
