Białogłowy
On February 14, 1944, Bieniaszewski, a resident of Załoze, went to Białogłów. He had tenants – a family who had escaped from the village of Białogłów from a Bandera ax. He took the tenant, two of his daughters, and went for food that the family had buried on their farm. They were warned that leaving was dangerous, but the prospect of bringing back a lot of attractive food overcame fear. Indeed, they had buried honey, flour, groats, grain and lots of potatoes. The evening passed, the night passed, and Mr. Bieniaszewski with his tenants did not return. I gathered a large group of scouts armed with a machine gun and in the morning we left to check; what happened? We came to the village, we ask if anyone has seen a cart with two men and two girls, drawn by a pair of horses. Of course, „nobody saw anything”. Someone had an idea to talk to the children. The children's information was brilliant – they even pointed to the yard where the cart stands. We surrounded this farm, we ask the farmer if he has seen the wanted? No, he replied, but he showed great nervousness. I ordered the boys to search the farm buildings. Bieniaszewski's wagon stood by the barn, and horses in the stable. The Ukrainian tried to escape, but after a while Franek Skorohobaty brought him under the barrel of the machine. In the barn, covered with straw, we found the bodies of the brutally murdered. The men were strangled with barbed wire – they wore a wire wreath around their necks. The girls' breasts were cut off and their bellies ripped open. These must have died in agony. We tied the Ukrainian beast and threw it onto the wagon, like a log. We were afraid that he would run away from us. We loaded the bodies on Bieniaszewski's wagon and returned late in the evening to Załozce. The families fell into despair – the lamentations were endless. We handed over the Ukrainian beast to the NKVD. Before he was hanged on the noose, he testified that he was the head of the SKW group in that village. It was he who organized the pogroms of Poles. It was he who gave the order to murder Bieniaszewski and his companions. The Banderites were tricky. They stopped Bieniaszewski's wagon while wearing Russian uniforms. They wore caps with a five–pointed star on their heads. Mr. Bieniaszewski, being convinced that they were Russians, explained exactly who they were and for what purpose they came, and thus sentenced himself and his tenants to death. that he was the head of the SKW group in this village.
