This platoon conducted the selection. The old, sick and grey-haired (regardless of age) were taken from each cart, in number of 140 people. Gradually, they were transported in trucks to a forest in Tyniec village, about 4 km on the way back toward the Vistula River. Then, they were unloaded at the edge of the forest and herded 30 m into the woods towards the graves, which had been prepared two weeks before by the members of local Baudienst (labour battalion). (...) Members of Baudienst used for help, were covering the layers of dead bodies and injured people with lime. In each of the three graves there are three layers of bodies. |
