general info
During the UPA attacks and the Ukrainian population from the villages of Hruszówka, Pogorełówka and Bystrzyce, together with children armed with diggers and kittens, at least 22 Poles, mainly women and children, were murdered; The Poles took up the defense and evacuated to Huta Stara, Nowin and Moczulanka. Genowefa Lewtak came to Gdańsk from Wołyń from the village of Janówka in 1945. She is a teacher by profession. Here are excerpts from her statements: „Janówka was such a defensive fortress. We were running away from this Ukrainian massacre. My brother personally died in March 1943 with his sister–in–law and child. Poles were murdered, they died! Here and there, our The Ukrainians were murdering on the way. Kaszuba's father always organized funerals and services. He was with us. He stayed all summer until September 9, when Janówka was attacked in 1943 by a Ukrainian gang and completely burned down. Lots of people died that night. Everyone was distracted somewhere. And we, a group of Poles, fled towards the village of Stara Huta, near Moczulanka […] It was on the night of September 8–9, during the feast of Our Lady of Sowing. I still remember the service that Father Kaszuba said in Janówka at the Kozłowski house. Father Kaszuba celebrated Mass. on the Mother of God, and there was a robbery at night. We even expected it, because the Ukrainian people, who were not in favor of the gang, let us know about it. We have prepared ourselves for this attack. We were on guard. Like a soldier, I stood guard with a rifle and a grenade”.
