Description

In the evening on October 15 - and thus on the same day, when he went to the transport Dunes Luze - Pawiak began preparing for the next execution. From 19:00 elected prisoners were pooled in cell No. 184 on the ward V. Between 22:00 and 24:00 the guard crew Pawiak began to call the name of staying in a cell prisoners. Designated persons ordered to leave the hall without personal belongings, and without outer cover. Experienced prisoners Pawiak quickly figured out that transportation is formed for the next execution.
50 selected in this manner convicts were hanged at dawn the next day. From the testimony given by witnesses of executions that the gallows prepared in advance (made from telegraph poles) brought prisoners trucks. Standing on a shipping crate condemned assumed noose on their necks, and the car drove away. In each of the places of execution were two gallows. The gallows were spaced at five points on the distant outskirts of Warsaw and in the suburban area - anywhere but near the railroad tracks:
- Next to the railroad crossing at ul. Mszczonowska in Wola;
- Near the depot on Szczęśliwcach;
- Ul. Toruńskiej (corner Wysocki) on Pelcowiźnie;
- Next to the train station in Rembertów;
- Close to the track queue driveway in Marki.
October 16th on the walls were plastered Warsaw also notice signed by Dr. Ludwig Hahn - commander of the SD and the security police in Warsaw district - which reported that in retaliation for blowing up a railway track near the town were hanged "50 Communists."
Public execution made a great impression on the residents of Warsaw. At the gallows crowds of people, many of whom tried to check whether any of the victims are not their relatives or friends. In the evening the body of convicts were taken to the gallows. At night, Germany secretly buried 20 lost on the pitch, "Skra" and delay the other - on the nearby Jewish cemetery at ul. Trench.
The memory of this event is dedicated to the statue standing near the municipal market in Marki
