Kusocinski, like hundreds of other prominent citizens, was charged by the Germans of being connected with anti-German underground activities. Although lacking proof, the Gestapo dctermined to extract information from Kusocinski, and tortured him for several months before killing him.

Later Kusocinski was thrown into a dark dungeon practically without food and water and was periodicolly subjected to fresh tortures.
