"The leaders of our [partisan] fighting unit were two Stein brothers from
Ostrowiec. Both of them were killed in June 1944 during the talks with
the boss [leader] of the workers’ party from Ostrowiec. His name was
Rybowski, alias Wujo [Uncle], and he was a Pole. They met to discuss
the question of an escape attempt from the camp.

[They planned an escape from the labor camp in Częstocice where they
were locked up along with the rest of the Ostrowiec slave laborers who
worked at "Zaklady" steel factory and the German Jaeger's brick
factory.]

And then one Jew named Blumental, a capo from Ostrowiec, informed
on them to the Germans, who immediately apprehended them, and the
Stein brothers were executed by a firing squad two days later"
