Ukrainian policemen murdered Feliksa Dolecka, who was escaping from the village of Swojczów to Włodzimierz Wołyński. „Antonina and Kazimierz also recall: «A year before his death, Bolesław Roch came to us and, as usual, we also recalled the tragic events in Volhynia. At one point, I mentioned my and my wife's warm friend Felicja Dolecka. I confided to Bolek that to this day I do not know what actually happened to her, my hearing was lost after her. Then Bolek was surprised and asked me significantly: ‹You don't know, she was brutally murdered by Ukrainians in Gnojno!› And he started telling us how it happened: ‹From the Ukrainian police station in Gnojno came to Felicja's house in Swojczów, two Ukrainian people she knew policemen. They said to Felicja: 'Go and take you to Włodzimierz Wołyński, because the Ukrainians will kill you here!' She already knew about the tragedy that recently happened in Polish Dominopol. She trusted the Ukrainians, hurriedly gathered her things into the suitcases, got on the wagon with them and they drove off. Instead of going to Włodzimierz Wołyński, the three of them went to the Ukrainian police station in Gnojno. There they raped her, and finally they cut a stake and stuck the pole in her skid. This is how they impaled her, just like in the cruel times of their national hero Bohdan Chmielnicki ›. From what he further told us, I realized that Stanisław Czop told Bolek about it. Staszek, who had already died, was a Pole from Niedzieliska. Before the war, he married a Ukrainian woman from Siedliska near Zamość, and he strictly joined the Ukrainians. In the summer of 1943, he was the commander of the Ukrainian police in Gnojno, commune of Werba, Włodzimierz Wołyński county. He saw with his own eyes how Felicja Dolecka from Swojczów was murdered. After the war he moved back to Siedliska and it was there that he told Bolek Roch»”.

The local Ukrainians murdered Feliksa Dolecka, who was escaping from the village of Swojczów to the city of Włodzimierz Wołyński. Others: „Two Ukrainian policemen known to her came to the house of Felicja in Swojczów from the Ukrainian police station in Gnojno. They said to Felicja: «Go and take you to Włodzimierz Wołyński, because here the Ukrainians will kill you!» She already knew about the tragedy that recently happened in the Polish Dominopol. She trusted the Ukrainians, hurriedly gathered her things into the suitcases, got on the wagon with them and they drove away. Instead of going to Włodzimierz Wołyński, the three of them went to the Ukrainian police station in Gnojno. There they raped her, and finally they cut a stake and stuck that pole in her skid membrane. So they impaled her, the same way they had been doing in terrible times of their national hero, Bohdan Khmielnytski, in XVII century”.

Five Home Army partisans were killed in the fight against the UPA. „On January 19, 1944, prisoners of the UPA unit were captured, who testified that a large UPA group was leaving Gnojno to attack the Polish self–defense base in Bielin. Lieutenant «Bogoria» decided to anticipate the attack of the UPA units by immediately attacking the UPA grouping in Gnojno. In the village of Ludmiłpol, 1.5 km away from Gnojno, there was a clash with the UPA group, which, surprised by an unexpected attack, was dispersed. But the main UPA forces in Gnojno were alerted. The advancing Polish troops encountered strong fortifications and well–organized defense of the enemy. attempts to break the defense of the UPA troops did not succeed”.
