Orthodox feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: they murdered a Polish family of seven. The witness Kajetan Cis, hidden in a copy of grain consisting of ten sheaves, saw the Malinowski family's failed attempt to escape. The family consisted of 7 people: parents, mother–in–law and children: 2. 3, 4 and 5. „Enraged band, still bloody and warm in Władysławówka – with pitchforks, axes, sickles and scythes – killed and abused this family; the women, Malinowski's wife and mother–in–law, were stripped naked and raped – they must have raped dead women, because they were lying motionless and every now and then, they were covered with blood. Live children were lifted up on the pitchfork – a terrible scream […] . I met a few ryzunów – they lived in adjacent villages, neighbors”.
