Mihály Sárközi, day labourer and surviving witness 329/1946 gave the following witness statement to the Political Department of the Völgység Commandant’s Headquarters, Tolna County, Hungarian State Police, on 25 February 1946:

In 1944 I was living in Lengyel, just before the Russians marched in, I can’t remember what day it was exactly, three gendarmes showed up where we Roma* were living. The gendarmes Fazekas and Gergely I knew by name, I didn’t know the third man. They ordered the Roma* to line up. Me and my family were the first to fall into line. We’d hardly stood there when they began to shoot at us from behind the horses. The shots passed through my hat, me and my wife, together with our younger son, threw ourselves to the ground. My wife was also injured, she was shot in the hip. Under fire, the other Roma* ran back into their houses. The gendarmes leaped with their horses over them and chased the fleeing Roma*. They kept shooting. I wasn’t injured, with my wife and my young son I went back inside our house. We hid under the bed. Meanwhile, the gendarmes were shooting down the Roma* who had fled into their houses, they threw several hand grenades into the houses. In the flat of my younger brother they murdered nine people, including my daughter, who had a baby just five weeks old. The baby survived, its right arm was injured by shrapnel. My elder son, József, fled as the shooting began, but he came back later. The gendarmes saw him. In front of my house they shot him, despite his pleading, then they threw a hand grenade at him. He was fatally wounded in several places.
Also present at the murders were the gendarme unit leader Domonkos Nyitrai and the gendarme sergeant Sándor Gyimesi. As they left the slaughter they warned the immediate neighbours not to speak about the incidents. There were 14 victims of this murder operation.
The gendarmes called Gyimesi and Nyitrai warned me on 18 February [1945] not to blab about what went on, otherwise they’d shoot me. My immediate neighbours […] were witnesses to the murders, I request that they be questioned.
