Brzezina

Mr. Stefan Kozioł heard the Ukrainians disguise themselves as partisans and thus win over the Poles and then murder them. To one of the towns (Mr. Stefan says that her name was Brzezina – it may be Brzeźnica / today Bierieżnica / half of approx. 16 km north of Sarny) The Ukrainians came in disguise and „shouted to prepare the ropes to take the cows from the Germans because they are chasing them”. In the morning the village practically did not exist. A girl who lay next to her dead parents and did not move, and a woman who had 18 holes in her body, but ran to Huta Stepangródzka and survived, survived. In one of the towns (now Mr. Stefan does not remember which one) there were few Poles – „maybe 20 numbers”. When the Banderites attack started, a man grabbed his son and started to run away. There was a forest nearby and it was headed there. When he realized that two The Ukrainians were catching up with him, he abandoned his son, who kept calling him. He was maybe three, maybe four, „already understood what was going on”. In front of his father lurking in the bushes, they killed the boy by sticking bayonets into him and tearing the body apart. Mr. Stefan cannot understand how a father could abandon his son. „Why didn't he defend himself? After all, he had a shotgun and could take them both! I think he got some confusion or something”. An old Pole named Żuk lived in the same village. „He was maybe 80 years old. He didn't run away, he just sat there. He killed two Ukrainians, but he was also hacked to pieces. He killed them coming in through the window – stabbed them with an ax, but so what”. A man was also sawed alive in this village.
