Biały Potok
The UPA hanged 3 Poles: the Szczęsny brothers and in the mill of the resident of Chomiakówka.
„Later, in 1947, two brothers were murdered by the Bandera followers; Kazimierz and Władysław Szczęśny. During the war, they served in the Polish Army and took part in fighting at the front. In the fall of 1945, they were demobilized and returned to Biały Potok, to their families. They decided to stay in Biały Potok and not go west to Poland. They were young, courageous people, they wanted to stay in their homeland and work in peace. Unfortunately, they did not predict that two years after the end of the war, they might be in mortal danger.
One day, before evening, two unknown men came to their house wanting to buy a horse, they were let into the house. After a short conversation with them, both brothers realized that they were Banderites, but they had no way of defending themselves. The bandits took out their guns and terrorized the whole family, locking them in the house, and they took both brothers with them, led them out into the yard and hanged them both from a tree. Their bodies were found the next day.
After this event, most of the Poles who remained there realized that their further stay in Biały Potok could lead to death. Most of them decided to go to Poland”.
