| - | On one winter night in 1920 Yurevichi was attacked by the gang and killed few Jews. We were afraid to start negotiations with them so we asked Popel to help us. He is one of the best friends of us and whom we know since his arrival to Yurevichi in 1916. So we asked him to go to the gangsters to learn how they could pay us the death of our innocent people. Being an honest and kind person Popel could not refuse us and took a risk. The band asked us to pay an indemnity or they would be on the shoot. We accepted their terms just to prevent bloodshed.

Many Jewish families hid in the Popel’s shed attic at that time so many Jewish lives were saved. This is why the amount of victims in Yurevichi was comparatively low. |
| Since the day Popel opened the school (1918-1919) till the day he was arrested we know him as a good, active and sociable worker who is the favorite teacher of our children. We ask you to interrogate us the undersigned old residents of Yurevichi village to prevent the punishment on the innocent man who did his civic duty. | Since the day Popel opened the school (1918-1919) till the day he was arrested we know him as a good, active and sociable worker who is the favorite teacher of our children.
