PILECIAN VITOLD

Witold Pilecki did not incriminate anyone with his evidence – a conversation with prof. Wiesław J. Wysocki

Witold Pilecki has not charged anyone with his evidence – with prof. Wiesław J. Wysocki, author of the book "Rotmaster Witold Pilecki 1901-1948" and lecturer of the University of Warsaw, Mateusz Rawicz talks.

Professor, can you agree with Andrzej Romanowski's thesis that Captain Witold Pilecki has chosen loyalty to the communist authorities?

This manifest abuse, specified a message in no way is true, even with the most unkind interpretation. That's utmost malice and deficiency of goodwill.

What results from this interpretation?

The goal is to undermine the thought of the Cursed Soldiers, which should be called the Unbreakable Soldiers. Many people are disturbed by the creation of a kind of value modeled on the ethos of soldiers underground independence. More and more young people discover these values and accept them as their own. Rotmaster Pilecki is 1 of the most recognizable Soldiers of Cursed. Over 20 schools bear his name, he is the patron of many streets and memorial sites. It all annoys the "ancient regime" who tries to counter it. If the bright character of the rot master is dirty, all the Cursed Soldiers are dirty, there will be no difference between the executioner and the victim. And this is, in fact, the aim of specified action – to align the objectives of communist totalitarianism with the objectives of the underground and to obliterate all values. This is the re-esteeming of public life, which in certain environments is very fashionable today. By the way, it is simply a hit at the IPN, which is present the main institution active in spreading the values of the Unbreakable Soldiers and historical fact uncomfortable for the people of the old system, which inactive did not lose, that time and those people unfortunately were not accounted for.

Andrzej Romanowski, as evidence of his thesis, quotes, among others, Pilecki's poem letter of 14 May 1947 to Colonel Goldberg-Różański's supervising investigation and the words of the rotator from your book "I can no longer live – I am finished".

I know all the materials about Witold Pilecki, so I say he knew that if he wrote a simple letter to Rozanski, he would surely not read it. A letter in the form of a poem gave the recipient a chance to read it. Pilecki entered into a certain agreement that could be concluded in prison, specified a deal was concluded, for example, by Colonel Albrecht with Germany, specified agreements were made with the communists by colonels to the National Army's staff due to the fact that they believed in the ethos of the word of officer's honour. They thought that regardless of uniform or ideology, there was something like the officer's respect for the uniform worn. It turned out that in people like Rozanski specified agreements had no meaning, could have made any agreement and kept none. someway Pilecki may have felt cheated, although it must be said that he saved many people who were included in his activity. In Bugajski movie Różanski reminisces it to Pilecki.

Can it be argued, as the author of the text in the weekly magazine Polityka, that Pilecki led his evidence to the death conviction on Shelągowska?

Not at all. In Pilecki's group there were provokers, investigators had excellent cognition of the composition of the group. According to the operational documentation of the case, many people were worked out in terms of characteristics and conspiracy contacts. If the interrogation lasted for hours or days and from the proceeding we have 1 or 2 pages of paper, this is the operational information that the interrogator put in the mouth of the interrogator, which he had previously known from various operating materials and wanted only to get confirmation during the hearing. These weren't reports, they were statements forced by torture that the interrogators knew from another sources. individual who describes Pilecki that way, or has no goodwill or no knowledge. I presume the first solution is more likely.

Is it fair to say that the captain has charged anyone with his testimony? Is there evidence of that?

There aren't any.

Andrzeja Romanowski does not mention the torture that the rot master suffered.

He's bagging the auditions. Pilecki had respective specified investigations – his nails were ripped off at his hands and legs, his testicles were crushed, his leg was placed from his stool. Torture lasted a long time, Pilecki suffered a lot, he was imprisoned in solitary confinement. For investigators, he was considered the most dangerous of the group, and he was highly dangerous to the individual who contributed to his death.

Who do you mean?

Józef Cyrankiewicz.

What was his role?

From the deceased curators of the Oświęcim Museum, I learned that Cyrankiewicz was carrying bags of files. This is besides confirmed by Henryk Piecuch, an officer of the Border defender peculiar Services. By the way, Piecz adds that the defender had Cyrankiewicz perfectly worked out and was so obedient to them. Everything points to Cyrankiewicz being a Gestapo assured in the camp. He left Auschwitz in fear of the assassination prepared for him by the camp underground. Then, as a erstwhile PPSowiec turned to the Communist side and was their impounder, there were compromising papers on him, so he was available to them.
