The UPA murdered 99 people, including 61 children. „On the night of April 1–2, 1944, which was Palm Sunday in 1944, a large group of UPA surrounded the church, presbytery and most of the Polish farms. They set them on fire, pouring kerosene or gasoline on them, and whoever tried to escape was shot with rifles. This is how they died in the flames of a fire or were shot while trying to escape: the whole Borcy family – 6 people; Kilar Maria with six small children, Kopeć Marcin with his wife and six small children, Kata Franciszek with the whole family, Lebioda with the whole family, Magierecki Bolesław with his wife Anna, Wiącek with the whole family – 8 people and Katarzyna Lebioda, paralyzed after childbirth, with a baby doughter. Her and her little daughter's death was particularly cruel. She was lying in bed, she had no chance of escaping. The torturers cut off her breasts and hands, tore out her entrails and hung them on the fence. After the attack, there was nobody to bury the murdered. Those who survived were afraid to come closer to their homes. The bodies of the murdered were left in the places of death, stretched by wild birds and dogs. All Polish houses were burned down and their traces razed to the ground. Today, 50 years after these tragic events, new houses were built by the Ukrainians in these places. There is no trace of the murdered, no grave or cross at the place of their burial. Even the old cemetery has been obliterated. Something inside us screams and tells us: The world does not know about what happened on the night of April 1–2, 1944 in the village of Dolha Wojśmieowska? God! Will your justice reach these murderers?”.

My father, Józef Urbaniak, born on April 20, 1905 in Rawa Ruska, s/o Anna and Adam Urbaniak, after getting married on July 8, 1936 with my mother Aniela, settled in the village of Ziemianka (Dołha Wojśmieowska), county Kalush. From the statements of my late mother it appears that at the beginning of April (1 – 4?) 1944 in the evening hours, seeing from a distance the burning church in Ziemianka, the parish priest of which was Fr Błażej Czuba, my father went there wanting to see what was happening there. He never returned home. According to the statements of the witnesses of this event, the church, along with the Poles gathered there and the parish priest, was set on fire by the UPA gang, and that my father was probably also caught and murdered there. I was 4 at the time and only vague memories remained in my memory.

When he was 13, his mother and siblings fled from Ziemianka to Łukowiec to her sister about 18 km. Mom's sister was married to Andrzej Kosior. Father stayed to watch the economy. When the Ukrainians attacked Ziemianka, he lost his life together with many villagers who took refuge in the church and in the presbytery. The Banderites burned down the church and the rectory with the people inside  […] After the church and rectory were burned down, the only survivor was Executioner Franciszek. During the fire of the presbytery and the church, my father, Stanisław, tried to save people, Kata Frank, Magierecki Bolek and helped a third boy to get to the roof of the burning church. The Ukrainians on the roof killed two boys by shooting them, and Kata was shot, hoping to be fatal. The church was on fire and it seemed that no one would come out of this pogrom alive. Executioner under the cover of night along the gutter, wounded, he slipped and somehow reached Łukowiec. He was the only one who saved himself from the pogrom.

Father Błażej Czuba was tortured, cut with a carpentry saw, and then thrown into the flames and burned. The historic church of larch wood was destroyed by the UPA. They robbed the interior of the church, stole chalices, scattered the Blessed Sacrament and communicants on the floor, grabbed the liturgical vestments, from which the families of OUN–UPA terrorists would make underwear for themselves. The church was completely plundered and burned.
