FORGOT BRAND IN A COUPLE OF SOLE
77 years ago, under Dobromil, torturers from the NKVD murdered respective 100 Poles and Ukrainians with hammers.
erstwhile Wehrmacht crossed the russian demarcation line on 22 June 1941, the Bolsheviks collapsed
Panic. erstwhile they escaped from the invading Germans, they abandoned everything. Equipment, weapons, machines, vehicles, secret documents, and even his own wives and children. They didn't neglect just 1 thing. No “enemy of the people” held in the NKVD casemates in the Kresach could fall into the hands of the Germans alive.
One of the most drastic – and rather forgotten – massacres of prisoners occurred in the salt mine “Salina” close Dobromil (now in the territory of Ukraine). Already on June 22 the first trucks with Poles and Ukrainians arrived there.
– The NKVD executed mass executions there. Their form was highly drastic. For almost no firearms were utilized to execution people – says Piotr Chmielowiec, a historian from Rzeszowski IPN.
UNDER THE STRENGTHENING BODY
Wire - bound russian men set above a deep shaft. Then NKWD officers hit them in the head with hammers to break stones. Victims were falling down the shaft. Those who were only injured were drowning in the brine or choking under subsequent layers of bodies. There is simply a known case of a man who survived the execution. "They brought him to the mine, hit him on the head with a hammer and flew to the shaft," a friend of the survivor reported. The glass was filled with dead and half-dead people. It was all breathing, moving, but there was small saline, so he didn't drown. After a while everything went quiet and at night it got into the world.” At the site of the NKVD mine, men were separated from women. The second were taken to a close chapel built “in Polish times” for miners. They were killed there. They say there was a desecration at the time. 1 of the victims was crucified by the Soviets on the temple wall. The mine exterminated, among others, “Polish enemies of the people” from Przemyśl. – At the same time, the NKVD carried out a bloody massacre in the Dobromil prison. People were killed in the courtyard, on the stairs, in cells. The inhabitants of the city heard from behind the wall terrible screams of killed and shot, says Chmiełowiec. any prisoners were shot in the back of the skull, any with blunt instruments. 1 of the execution sites was arranged in a wood warehouse. Kat smashed the victim's head with a five-pound hammer attached to a thick rod. The torturer was a local associate of the NKVD of judaic origin named Grauer or Kramer. The prison warden was tense about the massacre. He turned to NKVD officer Alexander Malcev to kill people with firearms alternatively of a hammer. “If you say so, you’re the same as they are.” He took the reprimand out of his holster and shot the warden.
BLOOD BLOOD
It is estimated that a full of 500 to 1,000 people were murdered in Dobromil and mine. Before the Germans entered the city (27 June) The Soviets have escaped. The accounts of people who were the first to enter the prison area were preserved. ‘ A terrible, frozen sight appeared to our eyes" – the witness testified. – The corridor was covered with blood for ankles and human bodies. All targets were open and bodies lay in each. There were bullet wounds on the walls. In the bodies, I noticed a man who gave signs of life. We pulled him out. He got shot in the back of the head. The bullet came out of his eye. We brought him to the local hospital.” erstwhile the Germans arrived, they spent in “Salina” of local Jews to extract the bodies from the shaft. erstwhile the exhumation was over, the SS murdered Jews. A full of about 100 people. Like the Bolsheviks, the bodies of their victims were thrown in the shaft and then flooded with cement. In this state, the place remains to this day. After the Soviets arrived again in 1944 about what happened in “Salina”, they were not allowed to talk out. A tuberculosis sanatorium was established in the mine. The chapel where any of the murders were made was turned into a cafeteria. It was not until 1990 that the local Ukrainians could put memorials there and organize mourning ceremonies. They are held on all anniversary of the massacre.
