The UPA murdered 3 Poles. „The UPA forces were estimated, perhaps excessively, at around 2,000 people. These were the combined UPA militias under the command of 'Hryń', 'Jar', 'Burłak' and 'Łastiwek'. They burnt 90 houses in Hłomcza with all their livestock and two crude oil tanks in the local mine. Three people were murdered: Emil Roman (42), his daughter — 14‑year‑old Katarzyna Roman and Ms Cecylia Chudzikiewicz (38), whose body was thrown into the basement of a burning house”.

„On the night of September 10–11, 1946, we heard a violent shooting. Through the window, we saw that the neighboring village of Łodzina and a part of our village from the side of Łodziny were on fire. All household members left the house in a hurry. I managed to put on my bare feet shoes that were always standing next to the bed, but I didn't even try to look for any other clothes (we always slept dressed, in trousers but no jackets). Brother Alek managed to put on only one shoe and, holding the other in his hand, left the apartment. Father had already put on boots and a winter jacket. The three of us ran out. My brother's shoe fell out of his hand, and because one shoe was not working well, he kicked this one off as well. We ran outside the house and here we were shot at by a machine gun burst. Fortunately, a series of missiles went above us and we only heard their sound as they punctured the metal roofing. We ran along the local, narrow path onto the main road leading to Mrzygłód. The attempt to escape in this direction was unsuccessful, because the Banderites took their positions from this side. We tried to run away on a dirt road outside the village, but there were also the Bandera followers here. The village was encircled. So we ran between the houses towards the old San valley. We were shot at here as well. The younger brother remembered that there was a basement on the edge of the village of a demolished cottage. Both my brother and I fell into that basement without hesitation. The stairs to the inside were partially covered with rubble, so we had a hard time getting inside. There was water at the bottom of the basement, ankle–deep. After a while, two adult men slid into the basement, followed by a woman with an infant. Our fate in this basement could have been tragic. The Banderites could watch us fall into this trap and it was enough to throw a grenade in to kill us. The situation was made worse by the fact that there was a small child with us, whose crying the Bandera followers could hear. We knew from stories such cases from other UPA raids. Fortunately, the baby was sucking on the breast and had no reason to cry. Sitting quietly in the basement, I saw through the hatch the legs of running Banderites, who were setting fire to houses with flaming torches. The calls and orders of their commanders were heard. After about two hours, we heard several loud orders from some Bandera commander: «pravoye krylo vtikay» («the right wing to run away»). The shooting was slowly fading away, we could hear grenades bursting in burning houses — people kept such objects at home. It seemed that the Banderites were gone, but none of the people in the basement had the courage to crawl out of our hole and see what was going on outside. In the morning I heard the voice of our father who was looking for us. My brother and I left this damn hideout and ran to our house together. There was fire everywhere from dying huts. On the main road we met running soldiers with weapons ready to fire. They were soldiers from the group stationed in Mrzygłód, 1.5 km away. In emergency mode, they tried to get to our village, but were stopped by the fire of well–organized Bandera rear–guard. The three of us ran away from home, we left our mother and sister Wanda there. We found my mother after arriving at the place where our house was burnt down. Mom hid in the garden. In Hłomcza, the Bandera followers, in cold blood, shot a Ukrainian, Emil Roman, and his crippled daughter Katarzyna in the yard. Cecylia Chudzikiewicz, sister–in–law of my brother–in–law Michał, died in a burning house. The army shot one Banderite in Hłomcza”.
