The Ukrainians murdered Kazimierz Kulas and Mikołaj Sawicki. The witness Józef Świerszko from Dźwinogród tells about the body of a man that was flowing along the river and stopped on the dike. About the teachers' marriage escaping to Buczacz, murdered at the edge of the forest. but also about the miraculous saving of 43 men from Dźwinogród, who were kept by the Ukrainians in the basement. The Germans saved them because they learned from the priest what was going on. „When I got the machine later, I was on guard, because every tenth house was worth it, so those Ukrainians were so careful. Two men were murdered in our village: Kazimierz Kulas and Mikołaj Sawicki – remembers Józef. Only two – one can say, because in the mentioned Barysz in 1944, the Ukrainians organized a slaughter. – They murdered and burned down the entire street, 200 numbers, only Poles. Later, the grave was dug, the bodies were collected and placed next to each other – describes Józef. – My sister Maria lived there. The father says: «Go see if they are alive». I went to where we were once quartered. My sister's family was okay, but the woman took me three houses away. There is a pile of dung in the yard, and something is moving in it. The woman lies murdered, her breasts cut off. and behind her the child, covered in blood but alive, survived. And you know what? Here I met him, he lived near Babimost. He recalled what they told him that he was lying in a pile of dung, covered in blood. and I replied: «I was there, he saw you». I have it in front of my eyes all the time. Mr. Józef does not hide that for a year before leaving for the west, Dźwinogród and the entire neighborhood lived in unimaginable fear of the Banderites. – There was no more sleeping or anything. and then it was just waiting for the train – you can hear a clear tension in the man's voice, although almost 70 years have passed since those days. – We left in November 1945. Wagons bare. It took pegs, wires, chains, and cords to tie it up, wrap it up. The driver was standing in the field: «Give me some vodka!», He drank, we kept going”. .
