Born in Lvov, Jacek Wilczur in the age of 16 became the youngest executioner of Nazi criminals and informers sentenced to death by the Polish underground courts in WWII. Sometimes he was even ordered to execute his own Home Army co-fighters. After the war his comprehensive knowledge was used in the works of Commission for the Prosecution of Hitler’s Crimes in Poland. He searched the underground town build by Germans in the Owl Mountains in Lower Silesia, sought hidden archives and secret Nazi cubbyholes. The 90 year-old Wilczur has never before told his story.
