In the village of Brodzica, poviat Hrubieszów: „After wandering around Zamość and Hrubieszów, my parents settled down in the village of Brodzica. A very rich village, it belonged to the Staszyc Society, Ukrainian youth — educated. After the Ukrainians were resettled beyond the Bug River, most of the Polish residents of Włodzimierz Wołyński settled here. We lived on the outskirts of the village in such a farm building. On May 20, 1946, to commemorate this event, we put a cross in the center of the village. They came in the evening in Polish uniforms. Nobody realized they were Bulba gang. They spoke Polish well and were let into homes. For example, they asked our neighbor if she knew who they were. «Polish army» — she replies. — «No, we are Ukrainians». At the given war cry, they started to set fire on property and shoot people who were escaping, especially when ammunition began to explode, which they had not managed to collect earlier, in the burning buildings. They left the ruins, as announced, left nothing to the Poles”.
