After the Holocaust, investigations into the deaths of Jews were conducted throughout Europe including the deaths which occurred in Czyzewo. The documentation regarding Czyzewo was obtained at the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. There were two incidents recorded for Czyzewo, both filed on September 26, 1945 by the Judge in Lomza, Poland.
The
first incident reports that the date of the execution was at the end of
September or the beginning of October, 1941.
The manner of execution was a shooting.
The victims were "Jews from Czyzewo, shot during attempted escape
from the march to the execution site on the grounds of the village and of the
township of Szulborze-Koty, district of Ostrow Mazowiecka, Poland."
The village is about 1 km. from Czyzewo. Initially the document listed
the number of murders between 100 and 150 people, but that was crossed out and
then 10 persons were noted. The
execution was performed "due to attempted escape" and it was carried
out by the Gestapo.
The second document reports that individuals that were allowed to freeze to death near the railway station in Czyzewo during the winter of 1942. All were Jews from the ghetto in Zambrow, a nearby town, on route to the death camp in Treblinca. They were buried near the railway track, opposite the railway station.
