In the spring of 1942, three Jews \u2013 Ca\u0142ka, a merchant from \u0141om\u017ca, and two teenagers \u2013 found shelter at the farm of Antoni, Czes\u0142awa and their daughter Genowefa Kenigsman in Miko\u0142ajki near \u0141om\u017ca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One early morning in May 1942, two German trucks arrived at the premises. Antoni was not home at the time. Czes\u0142awa and Genowefa managed to escape through a window. The Germans searched the farmstead, firing their pistols and rifles. They found the three Jews in the pigsty. Ca\u0142ka was shot on the spot, while the boy and the girl were severely beaten. When Antoni came back home, the Germans tortured him, and then pulled off his shoes and marched him to one of the trucks. They murdered him on the way and threw his body out in the forest. At night, Antoni\u2019s brothers took his corpse, while Czes\u0142awa \u2013 although the Germans had forbidden it \u2013 buried her husband at the cemetery in \u0141om\u017ca. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Germans transported the body of Ca\u0142ka to the nearby forest. They also took the two teenage Jews there and shot them on the spot. The victims were buried in a pit, where they remain to this day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2144","miejsce","type-miejsce","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wystawazpi.instytutpileckiego.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/miejsce\/2144","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=2144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
