In March 1944, as a result of an attack in Bereźnica Szlachecka, Kalush killed no less than 60 people. The perpetrators of the crime were also the inhabitants of this village of Ukrainian nationality – the neighbors of the victims. The Poles who survived fled to cities en masse.

Bereźnica Szlachecka
The Banderites burned down 75 Polish farms and murdered 62 Poles and a Polish–Ukrainian family of three. „Loud was the case of torturing Franciszek Pąk, a resident of Masuria – Londstrom from a neighboring village. One of the policemen named Wasyl cut his mouth from ear to ear with a knife, cut his tongue out and mocked him that he has «Poland from sea to sea» and now he can talk as much as he wants. The witnesses of these tortures and murders were his wife Maria and their minor child. It happened on April 1, during the raid of the UPA gang”.
