They were thrown down into a big ditch and were buried in the way they had fallen down.

Right after the Soviet army came, Helena went to Vilnius straight away
-
and as a doctor she was mobilized. But at the beginning in Vilnius there were still Germans.
-
The Russians occupied all Vilnius and lists of Poles
-
were made who could and would like to work in the offices of PKWN in Lublin.
-
I did not want to be in this list, I was proposed to be in this list, nobody offered me that.
-
But in fact people in that list were me, the Świezewskis, there was Helena…

Finally when we left the van which took us from the Lublin airport to Lublin,
-
we reached Spokojna Street, it was a street in which before the war there was a province building
-
and after the war too, to that time there was the office of PKWN.
-
Listen, it was totally unbelievable while we were going in this van from the airport to Lublin
-
we saw stores and everywhere Polish names, notices, army in Polish uniforms.
-
It was extremely impressive after this all the mess, after the war.
-

-
we knew about everything.
