Kazimierz Przekora, a cavalryman and veteran of the 1939 defensive war, lived in the village of Huta Mińska. In summer 1943, three Jews asked him for shelter after having escaped from the labor camp in nearby Mińsk Mazowiecki. Przekora took them in and hid them in the basement beneath the kitchen.
On 2 July 1943, the Germans carried out a round-up in Huta Mińska and the neighboring villages. All of the men, including Przekora, were gathered at the school. In the meantime, the gendarmes searched his house, found the Jews, and shot them on site.
The village elder of Huta Mińska attempted to intervene on Przekora’s behalf, but was u nable to help. The Germans took Przekora into the fields behind the school, where he was shot by Friedrich Gutberlet, the commander of the round-up operation who was renowned for his cruelty. Przekora was survived by his wife Władysława and two children – Wanda and Henryk who died fighting on the front line in 1945.
