J\u00f3zefa and J\u00f3zef Dmoch lived in Helen\u00f3w with their six children. Before the war they traded at the Stanis\u0142aw\u00f3w market and knew many local Jews.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In summer 1943, they took in a group of about ten Jews whom they hid in the barn. Shortly afterwards, a German expedition arrived in Helen\u00f3w. Upon noticing the gendarmes, the Dmoch children hid in the forest. The Jews also attempted to flee, but two of them were shot to death and two others were caught. The gendarmes arrested J\u00f3zefa and J\u00f3zef Dmoch, and on the way back they also captured deputy village elder Jan Kowalski and his wife Ludwika. The Kowalskis were arrested on suspicion that they knew that the Dmochs were helping Jews and failed to inform the occupation authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Germans murdered the two Jewish arrestees at the gendarmerie station in Radzymin. Following interrogations, Ludwiko Kowalska was released. J\u00f3zefa and J\u00f3zef Dmoch along with Jan Kowalski were executed on 15 July 1943.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1444","miejsce","type-miejsce","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/miejsce\/1444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/miejsce"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/miejsce"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
