Abstract
The author is trying to find out how corpses of murdered Jews were hidden in towns during the occupation. She uses the example of the case of Edward Toniakiewicz and three Jews he was hiding in his cellar and whom he then murdered. Afterwards the murderer tried to dump their bodies into a nearby pond. His crime came to light thanks to his neighbour’s curiosity. The investigation was conducted by the Polish blue police, while after the war the documentation was used during Toniakiewicz’s trial. This informative text allows the reader to acquaint himself with various aspects of the fate of Jews hiding on the “Aryan side.”
