Fighting the anti-communist underground and repressing not only partisans but also political activists and civilians, he committed many crimes.

In the Stalinist terror apparatus, he was head of the Prisons and Camps Department of the Kielce Voivodeship Office of Public Security, which "dealt with" Polish independence underground soldiers.

He has been compared to 'Dr Mengele', with a track record that far exceeds his. Experimented on political prisoners using toxins and poisons. He took an active part in assassinations of political opponents. He was the author of the secret NKVD poisoning programme.

"(...)Stolzman took two assistants and began interrogating the Swedish sailors (...) they began with tearing off the nails from the hands and feet and breaking the fingers. Then a hot rod was dragged across the body, back, legs, abdomen, breasts."

Feldman, by issuing his sentences, violated the principle of judicial independence. He personally participated in brutal interrogations, and as a superior he allowed his subordinates to use torture.

He had immense power, stemming not only from his formal position. He was the most efficient officer of the communist government.

"He ordered (...) them to lie cross-legged one on top of the other (...). Then the bludgeoning began. The Germans lying at the top begged for mercy, those in the middle of the heap just groaned, and from those at the very bottom their entrails flowed out under the weight of twenty men above them."

Accused of Stalinist crimes, he served as a judge. He issued unlawful death sentences on Polish patriots and partisans fighting against the Nazis.
