The Ukrainians murdered 4 Poles. „In 1944 she came to Liski Horodelskie, county Hrubieszów, the Palczyński family from Rivne (Wołyń). Later, the Palczyński family from Nowiny, ie Ambroży, his wife Maria and son Czesław came to Liski Horodelski. Due to the imminent danger, the family was to leave for Przeworsk. Feliks Stankiewicz undertook to transport the family because of his railway uniform and he came to Liski in the evening of March 25, 1944. Ambroży Palczyński asked Antoni Palczyński to help take his belongings and go with him to Przeworsk. The transport was to be secured by Feliks Stankiewicz. Antoni, however, was ill and could not go on his way. The wife of Antoni Palczyński, Ludwik, undertook to transport them on horses. She organized a wagon. Since they had one horse, they borrowed another from their neighbors. In the morning of March 26, 1944, they decided to go by wagon towards Hrubieszów, at that time it was only possible to go through Dziekanów or Moroczyn, and there were units of Ukrainian legions under the command of German officers. None of the mentioned persons reached Hrubieszów or returned to Liski Horodelskie  […] Later, Antoni Palczyński  […] met a resident from the town of Gródek [Nadbużny], county Hrubieszów and the latter told him that the bodies of several people had been fished out of the Huczwa River and buried on the embankment at the dike by the river. Immediately, Antoni went to Gródek [Nadbużny] and looked for graves with Stefan Palczyński. Next to the river, on the slope there were fresh graves (mounds of earth), only one of them had a wooden cross. Antoni unearthed the first grave with a cross [and he knew his murdered wife after the rosary. He recognized Maria Palczyńska by her sheepskin coat, s/o Czesław by height, and Feliks Stankiewicz by his railway uniform. Ambroże Palczyński, who was traveling with them, was not in the graves. Stanisław, Stefan and Antoni Palczyński arrived – they recognized the bodies, prepared coffins and took them to the cemetery in Hrubieszów. While burying the bodies of the murdered, the gravedigger stated that there was a grave of a man from Gródek near the cemetery wall. The grave was unearthed and relatives recognized it as Ambroże Palczyński and buried it in a common grave in the cemetery in Hrubieszów. The people of Gródek who were questioned in 1968 stated that they knew nothing about this case. According to the findings of the Investigative Department of the Prosecutor's Office of the Soviet Union and the Prosecutor's Office of the Polish People's Republic – Lublin Branch, Ambroży, Czesław and Maria Palczyńska from Nowiny, Ludwika Palczyńska of Liski Horodelskie and Feliks Stankiewicz s/o Konstanty from Witoldów, county Włodzimierz [Wołyński], were murdered on March 26, 1944 by the Ukrainian Self–Defense Legion registered as the 31st Special Battalion under the command of two German officers. This department came to Dziekanów and Moroczyna in the county of Hrubieszów on March 3, 1944. He was recruited from The Ukrainians from beyond the Bug River (from Volhynia) and was in Dziekanów and Moroczyna until the end of June 1944  […] 7 people from this unit, ie the 31st Special Battalion, are still living in Poland. The Palczyński and Stankiewicz Feliks were murdered on the Huczwa River in the place where there was a bridge and a mill. Currently, only piles stuck into the ground above Huczwa stick out after this mill. As for the horses that were carrying the cart – one of them ran to Liski Horodelskie alone without a cart, the other was found, according to people, in a neighboring village. I received the above data from the Provincial Headquarters of the MO in Lublin on 12 December 1968 (–). Julian Stankiewicz”.
