H. Komański et Sz. Siekierka do not mention any murder in this village.
Also: „The goal of these bands is, by way of mass murders, to remove Poles from these parts and thus create a complete, 100% supremacy of the Ukrainian element, as a sure and strong sub–treaty, which in the future is to be created in these lands by action an armed, military organization of the Ukrainian, free, sovereign Ukraine, governed exclusively by an independent Ukrainian government. The above claims are based on facts notoriously known. The Ukrainians do not hide their intentions in the villages and manifest them openly and in public at every step. It is enough to provide an illustration of the conclusions and directives adopted, among others, at the public meeting of The Ukrainians in Oryszkowce (Bezirk Kopyczyńce), which took place on June 27, 1943, and at which the head of a Ukrainian school, a certain Fedorów, called on the gathered The Ukrainians to make immediate order with the Poles. The immediate result of this meeting was an armed attack on the farm of the farmer in Korczakowa, Ignacy Zabrocki, a Pole. The course of this incident is described in detail in the protocol of his testimony No. 832/43 / WP, attached to this letter as Appendix 1; and murdering Poles in further areas of Kreis Czortkowski as a result of similar meetings as the murder of a Pole, the host Chyła Jan and his wife Weronika, on July 19 this year, in the Dykta ad Szyszkowce colony, Borszczów county”.
