Transcript: When we practically emptied out the cemetery, the Lubov cemetery from the tombstones, we were brought down to a to a, ah, a quarry to mine stone for the same purpose. And, ah, one day we were four people, ah, we were taken away from the group because they needed a harder gravel, a gray stone gravel what we called. And we were four people and two Ukrainian policemen were guarding us, and by eye communication, we decided that this is the time to jump them. So we jumped them with picks and shovels and we killed 'em both and we got away with a gun and half. What do I mean by a gun and half? One gun was intact and the other one got broken in the fight, but it was reparable. So four men with a gun and half came into a forest that we did not know, but rumors were that in this forest there are some Jewish partisans.
