Dobrowody
The following people died at the hands of the Bandera followers: the family of Karol Dziedzic, who was in the war (in WP): his wife Jadwiga died by suffocation, the daughter – by suffocation, the baby – a breast pierced with a knife. Jan Witomski, around 60 years old, residing at Góra Babija. He was shot on the doorstep of his house by a neighbor – bandit, Andrej Cart. The wife of the murdered, a Ukrainian, stated that the bandit had knocked on the window at night and asked in Ukrainian – Dliad, viczynit! (Uncle, open it!). He shot Witomski as he opened the door. Stachów lived in a street near the church and the Cooperative. He was dismissed from the army due to poor health. At night, days after his return, he was mugged in his own home and shot in the garden while he tried to escape through a window. The body of the murdered was massacred. Paweł Sąsiadek, 70, lived at ul. Kurnicka. He was the grandfather of Kazimierz Iżycki, currently living in Nysa, and Władysław Taratuta from Korfantów. During the night, he was kidnapped from his home and strangled with barbed wire. A few days later, the body of the murdered person was found in a river near the village of Czumale. My grandfather, Franciszek Iżycki, buried him. Since there was no longer a Polish priest, a Greek Catholic couple was asked for a Christian burial. The Greek Catholic priest flatly refused. During the transport of the body to the cemetery, the Ukrainians gathered next to the church – it was Sunday – laughed at this tragedy and at such a funeral. Minartowicz – 1970s. She lived on Kurnicka Street. During the night she was kidnapped from the house and no trace of her was found. According to the local Ukrainians, the body of the murdered was pecked up by ravens and crows in the so–called Chimneys on Dojihodach. Olijowska, Polish, wife of a Ukrainian, aged 52, living at ul. Dubowiecka. She left home to visit her family in Opryłowce and no trace of her was found. According to the Ukrainians, she was probably murdered in the forest.
