Our today’s interviewee:
Andrzej Jankowski (born in 1927 in Hrubieszów), a retired judge and former member of the Commission for the Investigation of Hitlerite Crimes. He talks about the pacifications carried out by the Germans in the Kielce region, e.g. the actions of Albert Schuster, officer of the German gendarmerie, known as the "butcher of the Łysogóry" [a region in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, Poland]. Judge Andrzej Jankowski brought this criminal before the court in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz) in Germany. As a result of the trial, which began in January 1973, Albert Schuster was sentenced to death.
