MURDER IN JEDWABNE: NEW DOCUMENTS FOUND!
According to the daily news broadcast by Radio "Bis", Professor
Daria Nalecz announced the discovery of new documents related to Jedwabne. These
documents are testimonies of witnesses to the muder of Jews,
deposited in 1947, that is, one year before other [i.e., quoted by
Gross] Jedwabne relations.
Twenty eight depositions include nine made by Jews. They all state
that the crime has been committed by Germans.
The daily news at the Polish Radio Program Three quoted the
director of the Modern Documents Archive [Archiwum Akt Nowych] in Warsaw confirming
the find of 28 depositions about Jedwabne. They are unanimous in pointing
out Germans as the culprits. They contain no mention of Poles and their collaboration.
The nine Jewish testimonies include one by a man who has been marched in the column of Jews to
the barn, and managed to run away at the very last moment. He also
blames the Germans and doesn't mention the Poles. Another
deposition indicates that in Jedwabne also died several Poles."
