In the spring of 1943, a wave of violence approached Adamówka. The family of the wealthy farmer Wszoła was murdered in the neighborhood. The reason was his son's advances towards a Ukrainian woman who was also killed with her entire family for favoring a Pole.

Families warned by the Badzia family were leaving their farms in a hurry. The Badzi family themselves did not want to run away, claiming that they had nobody to live for. Their daughter died with them, convincing her parents to go into hiding. The Ukrainians also captured the Kings. Pałków was more fortunate, although they lost the doyen of the Paweł family. He paid for his carelessness with his life, because being already hidden among the grains, he noticed that he had not taken the tobacco from the house and returned. Together with other captured people, he was herded into Dubiel's barn and burned alive. When the Poles realized that the bandits had left the village, some of them started to leave their hiding places and return to their homes or to what was left of them. Stanisław Mitura, Henryk's godfather, saw burned bodies tied with barbed wire in the site of Dubiel's barn.

Others: „The attack on Adamówka took place two days after the massacre in Kisielin, on Tuesday, July 13, between 8.oo a 9.oo. Mr. Henryk tells that the Bandera followers rode downhill from the nearby Tverdyń on wheelbarrows, i.e. light, four–wheeled, horse–drawn carts. Along the length of the wagon, leaning against the front and rear axles, lay a wide, flexible board on which the «fighters» sat astride. They held their rifles in both directions. One was watching the area through binoculars. There were a dozen of them, because that was enough for a defenseless village. As they descended the mountain, they saw exactly how people hid wherever they could, in grass, in cabbage or in potatoes. They dragged them out and gathered a dozen or so in several cottages and barns, which they set on fire. – That day my grandfather, mother and younger brother died – says Mr. Henryk softly, sadly in his voice. – I survived because I was grazing the cows away from home. I was 9 then  […] The family of Henryk Malinowski, burnt in the barn, was recognized by his aunt and grandmother, who survived the massacre, by the preserved fragments of clothes. The bodies could not be identified, but the blood–soaked clothes did not burn completely. – And then people rummaged it up, everyone got to know their cloths and collected the bones they belonged to – explains Mr. Henryk”.
