Karolina Juszczykowska lived alone in Tomaszów Mazowiecki and worked as a cook. Her modest wage was hardly enough to get by during the German occupation. At the beginning of June 1944, two Jews asked her for shelter in exchange for a small fee. She agreed even though she was aware of the brutal repercussions that might follow. The two men lived in one room with her for six weeks.
On 23 July 1944, the German Schutzpolizei surrounded the building and began a search. The Germans discovered the Jews hiding in the basement and shot them on site. The German Sondergericht in Piotrków sentenced Karolina to death, and the General Governor Hans Frank did not give her a pardon. The sentence was carried out on 9 January 1945 in Frankfurt am Main. According to the report, the execution was carried out without incident and took only nineteen seconds.
