Dobra Rustykalna

1992, Jarzeń — Polish translation of Iwan Demkowicz–Dobriański's account of the murders of Ukrainians in Dobra:
In 1946, when the front was approaching the San river, Ukrainians and Poles until the age of 20had to join the Polish Army. In order to avoid the war, especially in the Carpathians, Poles joined the [reserves of the militia] ORMO and the Citizens' Militia MO saying: «May the Russians conquer Poland themselves». Hearing that the Poles did not want to join the army, the Ukrainians began to flee. The Poles, however, carried out manhunts and sent those caught to the front. During the third raid they shot Josyp Krajnyk. He was 45 at the time. Soon the same fate befell his 35‑year‑old brother Mykola”.
[The account is very imprecise. The front passed in 1944, the ORMO and the Civic Militia were not there yet. Poles could not send anyone to the front. It was the Germans who attempted to draft Poles into military organisations. GTRKK]

In December 1944, a Polish gang from Borownica went through the forest to Dobra. There were several huts near the forest. From one of them they took Mykoła Demkowycz (born in 1921), Andrij Hyńek (20 years old), Stepan Dziurdziewicz (35 years old) and his brother Mychjło (45 years old). They led them into the forest, ordered them to lie down on the ground and threw a grenade between them. Mykhailo Dziurdziewicz was torn apart, his brother's legs were shattered, Hyńko was injured in the arm, and Demkowycz was injured in the leg”.

1992, Jarzeń — Polish translation of Iwan Demkowicz–Dobriański's account of the murders of Ukrainians in Dobra:
In March 1945, during a Polish gang attack, three hosts were taken: Mykola Demkowycz (35), Szymek Tyrawski (65‑year‑old war invalid). from 1915) and Iwana Tech (aged 35). All three were shot and thrown into the water during the ferry crossing across the San from Tyrawa Solna to Mrzygłód. Nobody knew what happened then. The next day, Tyrawski's wife went to the militia in Mrzygłód. A Polish gang quartered there. She was told no one from the Dobrian was here and to go home. When she was returning to Tyrawa by ferry, she saw how the bandits were throwing an old woman into the river and drowning her. After a few days, the water threw her body on the shore near Ulucz. People conveyed the message to Dobra. Stefan's son recognized his mother by clothes.
Shortly after this accident, two civilian bandits caught a woman who was returning home from Tyrawa. It was 50‑year‑old Magda Czomko. They took off its clothes, strangled it and threw it into the San. No one found her body

In January 1946, the Polish Army came to the Zamagura colony near Dobra, burnt 18 huts and took 4 farmers.

Dobra Szlachecka

Fragment of Stepan Nisiewicz's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Dobra Szlachecka by various armed formations of the Republic of Poland:
In January 1946, on Christmas Eve itself, an army from Bircza burst into the village  […] They set fire to farms, if someone tries to extinguish them, they beat rifles waiting for it to burn better. Scream and cry everywhere — 11 houses are on fire. It's frost outside, the cows are roaring and the soldiers won't let them untie. The farms of Szczurek, one of the best in the area, 50 hectares with all machines and a horse treadmill, burned down then. They take a few men with them and go to Brzeżawa, stopping in a corner of Fedchat. There they drove the Polish Ulan family to the barn. They broke their arms, legs, ribs, smashed their heads, and then shot them half–conscious. Then the following died: Wasyl Nisewycz, Iwan Nisewycz, Dmytro Zahaczewski, Semen Gbur, Josyp Popel. Only Mykołaj Nisewycz managed to escape”.

On January 6, 1946, at 7 a.m., the Polish Army together with the Citizens' Militia from Bircza attacked Dobra  […] The incoming Poles (the spearhead) were fired on by a machine gun fire from the 'Jara' unit stationed at that time in the Dobra's hamlet 'Za Magura'. In the face of overwhelming enemy forces, sotnya withdrew to the forest, killing 3 Polish riders during the retreat and capturing one horse with a saddle. After entering the village, Poles robbed 18 houses and then burned them. They took cattle, Christmas pastries and everything else from the village. Only the old people remained in the village, because the younger ones fled into the forest in advance. The three remaining Ukrainians in the village were shot: Wasyl Nisewycz, 42, Wasyl Popil, 34, and a third”.

Excerpt from the situational report of the political clerk of the OUN 'Chłodny Jar' district, Petr Kawuza 'Taras', on the murder by Polish Army soldiers on Ukrainians in Dobra Szlachecka:
On January 15, 1946, 250 soldiers of the Polish Army armed with light weapons in 2 mortars and a 45 mm cannon were pushed forward towards the village of Dobra Szlachecka from Tyrawa Solna, encircling it on two sides  […] After an hour‑long firing of the forest, they entered the village and began to rob everything, beating people who did not want to give up their property. They did not take the cattle. They caught a few men fleeing into the forest with their bundles, immediately identified them and returned to the village. In the Czerłenne hamlet of Dobra, they caught three Ukrainian men who were escaping to the forest before a manhunt. They were: Osyp Gbur from Krecowo, 25, Iwan Gbur from Wola Krecowska, 38, and another one from Siemuszowa. The documents were burnt by the army at one farmer in Czerłenne, and the arrestees were treated as Banderites. An unknown group commander gave the soldiers an order to shoot them. The maddened soldiers pounced on them and began to torture them, and then shot them from the machine guns PPSz”.
