Grąziowa

Polish translation of Michał Markowicz's account of the murder of Ukrainians in the village of Grąziowa  […] :
After the front had passed in July 1944, Polish people's government began to be organized here. WOP was deployed in the Wojtkowa commune, and MO was established. Since then, repressions against the Ukrainian majority in our territory began. Arson began and, worst of all, innocent people were murdered.
The first victim was Stefan Sawka (about 45 years old). In the fall, WOP took him to Wojtkowo, and after 10 days he was found in post–German trenches. His arms and legs were broken, his legs tied behind his head, he lay covered with burnt spruce branches. Probably so bound, he died in the fire.
At that time, the madness of the army in Bircza, MO and ORMO was starting. Arson, looting and beatings began. Local people had to run away to the forest more and more often. These were simply provocations of the Polish authorities

Polish translation of Michał Markowicz's account of the murder of Ukrainians in the village of Grąziowa  […] :
The next victims were Anna and Michał Sokalski, a married couple aged 40–45. In February 1945, the army attacked the village, Anna was taken out of the hut, shot, and then thrown against the fence, covered with straw and set on fire. When my husband came to the rescue from the forge, he was caught and beaten to the point that he could not get up. The torturers set fire to the house, and when they are burning well — they threw the host alive into the fire. There were five children left, the youngest son was about one year old and the oldest was 21. Several Ukrainian huts were burnt on that day”.

Until now [until the Polish attack on March 23, 1945] the Ukrainian Insurgent Army did not interfere. Notified of the events, she arrived in the village in the evening. The Polish Army fled.

Grąziowa

Fragment of the NN 'Bukowy' protocol on the murder by Wojtkowo militiamen of 5 Ukrainians in Grąziowa:
On March 22, 1945, in the evening, the reconnaissance reported that 38 Polish militia were driving from Wojtkowo towards Grąziowa or Jamna. On the same day, around 10 p.m. on the initiative of a colleague 'Potap', two self–defense swarms were summoned from the village of Jamna Dolna, in the number of 25 people, and the gendarmerie in the number of 15 people was put on alert  […] About 100 Poles participated in the action in the village of Grąziowa who brutally murdered 5 middle–aged men. They killed them with rifle butts. They threw four others alive into the fire of burning houses, and set 18 of them on fire during their retreat to Wojtkowo. Thrown into the fire, they escaped with burnt hair and mustaches”.

Grąziowa

Polish translation of Michał Markowicz's account of the murder of Ukrainians in the village of Grąziowa  […] :
The next action took place on March 23, 1945. The troops from Bircza and the militia from Wojtkowo took part in it. They died then:
Ivan Markovych — about 60 years. They beat him badly, bayoneted his nose until the blade came out of the back — and left him there.
Petro Markovych — 21 years old, tortured to death. He was mentally ill, harmless, there was no point in killing him.
Iwan Buć — about 60 years old. He died during the beating. Teodor Buć — around 55 years old. Beaten with rifle butts until the brain erupted from the skull.
Hryhorhiy Yarosh — 45 years old. Cruelly tortured with rifle butts, the murderer's broken teeth were inserted into the bayonet holes on the chest of the dying person. He was dying in terrible torments.
Most of the inhabitants saved themselves from death by hiding in the forest. A quarter of the village was burnt that day

A militiaman from Wojtkowej, Stasicki, murdered Sapka Stepan from Grąziowa (a Ukrainian), and the policeman Waluś Kazio told me how he fetched a protocol from Stepan's Lyska, breaking his hands at the same time.
