On March 27, 1945, an UPA unit supported by the Ukrainians from Gaja and the surrounding area killed 69 people. Six belonged to my close family. The previous day, Ukrainian neighbors had assured my uncle, Józef Barutowicz, who was a local teacher, that he and his family would be fine. They asked him not to leave. And at midnight they knocked at his house. Then they started killing.
