[The Ukrainians] murdered over 100 Poles mainly with the use of various tools.
Dermanka, Antonina Woźniak's hometown, was situated on the left bank of the Słucz River, 3 km from the Polish—Soviet border. Before the war, it was a large, prosperous village. There was a ball clay mine and a porcelain factory here, there was a narrow—gauge railway and a primary school. There was also a church of st. Izydor Oracz built in 1932. The farm of Marianna and Michał Paszkowski was situated in the southern part of the village. antonina, born in 1926, had two older siblings: antoni (born 1920) and Zofia (1922), and a younger brother, Bronisław (1938). „Dermanka was inhabited by Poles and The Ukrainians living in harmony, there were also three Jewish houses — remembers Ms antonina remarking that from the child's point of view, nationality did not divide people. — To a Ukrainian, a pop would come for religion, and a priest to visit us. But as we said to Pop, «praised», «corresponded to» forever and ever. Conversely, when someone addressed the priest with a greeting «fame Bohu», «answered» fame forever. We spoke to The Ukrainians in Ukrainian, and when they came to us — they spoke Polish. Our houses were adjacent to each other. Poles and The Ukrainians were friends and helped each other. There were no divisions. When we celebrated our Catholic holidays, we invited them to visit us, they hosted us for Orthodox holidays. Nobody even thought: this Ukrainian, and this Pole. Same normal people  […] — When our village was murdered, it was Corpus Christi — a. Woźniak remembers him until June 30, 1943. Memories do not allow us to speak. The Paszkowski family returned home from the church and sat down to dinner when a terrible scream rang out in the village. Bands of Banderites entered the village from the north. Going from house to house, they brutally murdered entire families, destroying and burning the farmyards. about 50 people died then.

There was such a scream that — God — I think it was heard in heaven — says with a raging voice”  […] Witness antonina Woźniak from Dermanka only at the end of the conversation decides to give his testimony about the brutal murders in Dermanka, as a result of which 18 people from his immediate family lost their lives. „When we were still at home, my mother kept saying: «God, let the Germans kill us, not the Ukrainians» — she recalls. — People were worst afraid of this knife. The Ukrainians did not kill anyone with a bullet, they just fucked. They stretched out hearts, cut open bellies. The pregnant woman took the baby out and sewed it into her belly. My uncle's tongue and ears were cut off, her eyes gouged out, a stake was stuck in my body. The uncle from the upper colony chopped off the feet, hands, and the body and threw it aside. The wife of another uncles, trying to run away, threw the child out of the window, and the Banderites nailed her herself hung over the window, and they set the house on fire — he says with difficulty  […] The brother—in—law of my sister's husband was Ukrainian, and she married Chicewicz, a Pole. First they murdered him: they put his head on a stone, and they crushed the other's head. Before they murdered their wife, they dismembered their five‑year‑old daughter before her eyes. They shouted that she was married to a Pole. They took cruel revenge on such mixed marriages”.

W and E Siemaszko at number 250 give the date of the attack on June 16, 1943. „One day after Corpus Christi, we saw a glow over Derman. The few who managed to escape said: a unit with red bows appeared in the village. They ordered people to go to work and promised to defend themselves against the flag. Then they murdered those quietly working in the fields. They burned the village and the rectory, but they demolished the church and found buried” items.
