Teraz my sami stoimy u wrot śmierci, nas samych czeka śmierć, gorsza niź tamtych wszystkich, bo z petną świadomością tego. co nas czeka. I nie ma ratunku, nie ma zmitowania.

They continued the "action" the following day until the goal was attained. They took away from us more than 1.500 persons. The train made it's way to the extermination-samp in Belzec.
