Fraga

During the night raid, the Banderites robbed and burned Polish farms and murdered 31 Poles, mainly women and children, incl. a teacher with 2 children, including a newborn. Earlier, on February 19, 30 Poles were murdered here. „On this frosty evening, the Bandera followers murdered only men, including three Bernardine monks. In the morning, the Germans came to the village and prepared documentation and photographs of the murdered, ordered them to be buried and left. The victims' families made makeshift coffins out of planks and three people were buried in one grave. The local Ukrainians did not agree to the mass grave. On April 13, 1944, The local Ukrainians razed the graves of the murdered men to the ground on February 19, 1944, and obliterated all traces of their burial. The next day, April 14, 1944, a group of armed Banderites attacked. She plundered all houses, murdered all the inhabitants of the village, Poles, this time women, children and old people. The bodies of the murdered were loaded onto carts and taken to a place unknown to us. About 31 people were killed. Everyone, regardless of age and gender, was murdered. I remember that Rozalia Duma, my grandmother's sister, was a midwife and at that time she was at the teacher's when she was born. She was murdered there together with a teacher, a newborn child and her three‑year‑old daughter”.

Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight  […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all  […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated  […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.
