On a Sunday in June 1944, five young girls went to the railway station to say goodbye to the boys who were about to leave for the Polish Army. „Suddenly a group of Ukrainian teenagers showed up. Dmytro Husak was among them, I knew him from school. They approached the girls, took them by the arms and led them deeper into the village. After this event, no one saw these girls anymore and their bodies were not found. After many years, a Ukrainian, Nastia Burdajna, who was in a state village in the village, told about the fate of these girls. Well, they were taken to the forest and raped there for several days, then their blood was drained and wooden pegs were driven into their reproductive organs. They were buried in trenches near the forest in Glinka”.

The memoirs of Stanisław Leszczyński (born in 1927) cover his childhood and youth, spent in the village of Germakówka in Podolya  […] The author had been staying for several months in the town of Mielnica, where he served in the Russian 'istriebielnyi' battalion IB [damage battalions — formation established by the Soviet authorities to combat German subversion and anti–Soviet underground].
„Some time after we left Germakówka, five local girls were brutally murdered. I know it from the accounts of several people and these accounts are fully reliable. I have them taped and written. They were passed on to me by: Wanda Nagórska née Konopska, Łucja Pasałka, Stanisława Szczerba, and many years ago my uncle Szczepan Czarnecki told me about many details — including the murder of these girls. All relations, with minor differences, agree on the most important things. The most detailed account is a short story by Wanda Nagórska. According to her, she was also supposed to be a victim of this murder, but she managed to hide behind the railway car.
It was Sunday. The girls were fast approaching the train station in Germakówka. They were supposed to leave for Chortkiv for some vocational training course. Suddenly, a few Ukrainian teenagers ran out from behind the nearby buildings. Among them was also Dmytro Husak, who made fun of Fancya Rapp's body scattered on the grass. They grabbed the girls by the arms and started to lead them deeper into the village. A Polish woman was apparently scandalized that these Polish ladies were socializing with the Ukrainians. I couldn't find out if they were defending themselves in any way, but it couldn't have been otherwise. These girls were dragged to one of the houses near the municipal council house and locked up there. Then many gathered and gang raped them, barely out of childhood age, some of them were our school friends, 15‑16 years old. They were harassed for a very long time, and when aggressors were satisfied, they brutally murdered them.
Mrs.Stanisława Szczerba informs me that the mother of the kidnapped Stasia Hegerówna, having learned about the kidnapping of her daughter, went with a desperate cry «give me my baby» to the municipal office. Nobody saw her again, nobody knows what happened to her”.

The UPA hacked with axes and slaughtered 17 Poles and 1 Ukrainian with knives. 80‑year‑old Joanna Cybulska was hacked with an ax in her own garden, 80‑year‑old widow Ścisłowska was hacked with an ax in her own house. They also murdered 20‑year‑old Maria Myczkowska. „During the day, in August 1944, Maria Myczkowska, a teacher who worked in the village of Zalesie, was taken from the school. She was brought to her aunt's house where she lived. The murderers locked themselves in a room with her, raped and beaten her in turn. After a few hours, they took her out of the house, or actually pulled her out, because, as witnesses testified, she could no longer go alone. This continued for two days. On the third or fourth day, her body was found on the bank of Zbruch. Her body was massacred, her arms and legs tied with” barbed wire.

[The Ukrainians] murdered 27 Poles, including 3 families, from a 4—month—old baby to grandparents. „According to my information 4—10—1944. my ancestors, the Holiks from Germakówka, died. The house of my great—grandparents Holik was also burnt down. There were great—great—grandfather Emil Holik, great—grandfather Józef Holik and his wife Emilia. Józef's head was cut off.

Julian Holik was shot, he was 11, he was a beautiful boy, his head was in white curls, he was found in the corner near the stove. As far as I know, everyone is lying in the cemetery in Germakówka. I am looking for information about my grandmother, Joanna Kowalska—Holik, no one knows what happened, my father only says that she died in his arms, and the Kowalski family lived in Zaleszczyki and Iwanie”.

At the end of 1944, the Polish–Ukrainian couple was going to go to Poland. Safron Kifjak was Ukrainian, his wife Zofia née Konopska was Polish. Just before leaving, her husband went missing. „Concerned, Zosia ran to the lodge and saw her husband with his head cut off. A large group of drunken Banderites stayed there. They arrested Zosia, first gang raped her, then put her in a big sack, put her on the ground, and began practicing throwing knives into the sack. Apparently the fun lasted quite a long time. The victim screamed and suffered terribly until” died.
