Fragment of an interview with Yevhen Dyky, born on in 1925 in Leżachów […] :
„— «Was anyone from this hamlet [Kuszczaki — BH, Kostrzaki — GTKRK] killed?»
— «Yes. Three boys were on guard in the village. And they went to the Szwarc. Then some came and they killed the Swede, he was married. It is not known who did it […]
The army even fired at bushes as soon as something was moving. They killed a woman, the first husband was probably called Kril, and the second was Mordechai. His stomach was seriously injured, he got inflammation and he died»”.

Fragment of an interview with Yevhen Dyky, born on in 1925 in Leżachów […] :
„— «I will return to the hamlet of Gajda. Has any of its inhabitants been killed?»
— «Yes, they were both called Skibiak, but not during the battle, during this robbery, and when they were hoeing potatoes. Not far from this forester's lodge».
— «How did it come about?»
— «They came out of the forest. They took them and the horse. They were probably battered and dragged to the road with their horses. It was in the fall, I think in 1946»”.
