The Banderites murdered over a dozen Poles who witnessed the abduction of Fr Stanisława Kwiatkowskiego February 14, 1944: „Less than a month later, the Bandera followers also dealt with other witnesses of those events. They got to Michał Wyspiański, took him outside and cut his head on a stump with a wood saw. Everything had to be watched by the family, including the d/o Michał Wyspiański, and today my grandmother”.

Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.

In 1945, she and her family were preparing to leave for the Regained Territories. The s/o Adaś, in August this year, before leaving, went to his sister married to a Ukrainian to inform her about the departure and bring the family some food. She lived in Chlebowice Świrskie, in the hamlet of Pomiarka. When Adaś went to the orchard in the morning to get apples, the Bandera followers who were waiting for him came out of hiding, took him and murdered him in the pasture, slitting his throat in a brutal way. They put the crippled on his feet and made him sing „Poland is not yet killed”. The shepherds saw this scene, who told Adaś's sister. They dragged the body into the forest and buried it. The sister searched for, but did not find her young, 14‑year‑old brother.
