In 1940, the Soviet authorities relocated the Polish population from Krasiczyn and from the villages of Śliwnica and Krasiczyn, county Przemyśl to Alexandria, county Equal. Together with them, a Uniate priest named Baka was resettled with his wife and daughter. As there was no Roman Catholic priest there, at the request of the Poles, he agreed to celebrate separate Masses for them. in the local Roman Catholic church. In August 1943, during an attack by a UPA gang, he was murdered at the altar while celebrating the Holy Mass. Many Poles present in the church died with him. On that day, the wife and d/o a Ukrainian priest were also murdered.

As reported by Daniela Kubiczek: „It was March 4, 1944. My brother, then 16‑year‑old and two sons of aunt Witkiewicz, went to their aunt's former estate, near the forest, to buy food for horses and cattle. Before leaving, my brother asked his mother for pea soup for dinner. They didn't come back. Grandma and a neighbor went to look for them near their aunt's property. At the edge of the forest, in the snow, you could see the place where the sled had clearly stopped. There were a lot of tracks around. A gamekeeper appeared and said that bandits were prowling the place the day before. After a few days, the Ukrainian woman told us that they had locked them naked in a cellar somewhere, and then they were taken to the forest. We could only assume what happened there. The bodies were never found”.
