Excerpt from Josyp Łapczuk's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Korczmin by the armed formations of the Republic of Poland and the USSR:
„During the next raid, Iwan Gadowski (37), a member of the OUN, to whom 'strybki' ['galants' from Machnów — BH] burnt alive his father and the farm did not have time to hide. Militia from Belz surrounded the house where he was hiding and arrested him. On the way to Bełz, they beat him terribly. In the end they tied him to a horse and dragged him for a few kilometers, then killed him while unconscious”.
