Cepuchy

(Near Jaryczów): „In the village of Cepuchy [district Lviv] killed 7” people.

source: „1944, March - Lists of murdered people and attacks on villages and estates in the Lviv district”; in: National Ossoliński Institute, Wrocław, in: No. 16722/1, p. 97

At dawn, Edward Cepuch (20), the brother of the witness Irena Ratuszna née Cepuch, was abducted from the road to the railway station in Połonice. As every day, his friend came for him – a Ukrainian, Nykola Barabashin. But this time „friend” led him to SYLWEN's house, which was in the forest, where bandits from nearby Podliszki, Hryniów and Połonice were waiting. During the day, other inhabitants of the settlement were brought there, detained on their way to the station. They were Michał Staszyński (36), Janina Cepuch (28), Zdzisław Wróblewski (14), Wacław Cisiński, a married couple of French settlers. They were held until evening, when they were led out of the farmyard and into the forest. The boy was shot immediately, the others had to dig pits, they were ordered to strip naked and shots were fired at them. The lying people were killed with jags and pushed to prepared pits. Settlement residents had heard the shots but were not aware of what they meant. Seven people were murdered: five Poles and two French settlers.

Cepuchy

I am the d/o Wacław Cisiński, murdered by UPA gangs. He was killed by the Banderites during the pogrom near the village of Cepuchy  […] I would like to add that my father was born on October 10, 1914, so on the day of his death he was almost 30 years old, he was a resident of Jaryczów and worked as an official in the forest inspectorate in Lviv. Unfortunately, his name and surname were not included in the list of those killed in the Borderlands.

Cepuchy

(Near Jaryczów): „February 28, 1944 to the Cepuchy settlement, district The Bandera followers came in Lviv at three in the morning. They were surprised by the absence of men. They did not think anyone would have warned them. They went from house to house chasing people to one place, to the brick house of Michał Cepuch, my father. They waited for the return of the men to the 15th, robbing abandoned houses  […] They were saved from extermination by two brothers Zbyszek and Józek Mrozowski (then 12–13 year old boys), who were the only ones hiding with their parents in the basement of their house. When the Bandera followers set the village on fire, wrapped in white sheets (there was snow outside) they made their way into the forest and, despite the shots fired behind them, they reached the Gestapo in Jaryczów. The police station was notified. And when frightened women and children, crowded in the surviving house of Michał Cepuch, they waited for their end, they heard shots from machine guns. This time it was the Germans who came to the rescue of”.
