More intensive arrests of Warsaw intelligentsia. Those known to us include, anong others, Lawyer Stanislaw BENKIEL, Lawyer Ludwik DYZENHAUS, Pedagogue Szymon LUBELSKI, Dr. Franciszek STURM - all hostages in the Kott matter.
And the Kott matter was this: Andrzej Kazimierz KOTT, 20 years old - denounced by the chief of a conspiratorial organisation - escaped from the Gestapo building at Szucha Ave. The arrests which followed included whole families and persons without any connection with the "Kott matter". Also arrested was Papa's colleague, Wladyslaw WASIAK, as well as Josek GOLD, Stanislaw and Tadeusz KUBALSKI , Wiktor WALEWSKI, Dr. Karol DREWNOWSKI, famous historian and lecturer in the State Grammar School of Adam Mickiewicz, together with his wife and two sons (Andrzej, 17 and Tadeusz, 13).
And, a few days later, Jerzy EGIELMAN, Alfred OZIEBLO and many, many others. Again - sadness, despair and the question: what next?
