The village of Hnilice Wielkie belonged to the Koszlaki parish. In this village, the sisters of service / starowiejskie / ran an orphanage with a chapel for a mass. Sr. Anna Zarkowska, b. On July 30, 1882 in Czernichów Mazowiecki, Tarnopol county, and her sister, Sr. Antonina Helena Żarkowksa, b. July 25, 1893. During the Banderites' attacks on the local Polish population, both sisters moved from Hnilice to their hometown, to survive the critical period among their own. When the area calmed down a bit, the sisters returned to the convent in Hnilice, but found her stripped of everything. They turned to the inhabitants with a request to return at least the most necessary things. They were calmed down and assured from the Ukrainian side that all things would be returned to them. Soon after that, they were given two spears and ordered to dig a hole in the yard of the nursery. After the sisters had dug the pit, they were strangled and buried in a fresh grave on November 2, 1944.
