Biskupicze Górne
The 15–strong „gang of Ukrainian partisans” under the command of Stepan Stolaruk announced that a census will be carried out and new documents will be issued. The families living in the estate – men separately, women and children separately – were brought to one of the houses and murdered there with axes. The house was then set on fire. This is how they murdered 70 Poles, and there is no trace of the property.
