Hruszowice
Excerpt from Dmytro Kiwer's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Gaja, Hruszowice hamlet, by MO members and Polish Army soldiers:
„I want to provide information about the wrongs inflicted by Poles on our people in the village of Gaje and the surrounding area […] One time, the militia from Stubno came to rob. They started shooting. The boys […] let go. Kmeć was shot in the stomach that tore him open. It was impossible to help him — he died in agony”.

Fragment of memories of Daniel Drewki, born in in 1924 in Nienowice, Jarosław poviat:
„The police station in Stubno did a lot to us, especially in the spring of 1945. The three Zwierkowski brothers especially distinguished themselves. In Gaje they shot Michał Kmec, a 22‑year‑old resident of Nienowice”.

Hruszowice
In the village of Hruszowice, poviat Jarosław: „On March 11, 1946 at At 17.00, a sub–unit of the UPA attacked in Gaje 6 Polish soldiers (including one second lieutenant) from the 28th Infantry Regiment from Przemyśl. After disarming and undressing the soldiers, the attackers left (one wounded soldier was sent to the MO militia post in Młyny). The above report of the militia probably concerns an event that is listed in other studies on March 12, 1946 in Hruszowice. As a result of the attack, the Bandera followers captured and then murdered 2nd Lt. of the Polish Army WP Zbigniew Krzchowski, s/o Stanisław, b. in 1921, officer of the 40the Aerial Artillery Regiment or 28 Infantry Regiment, Cpr. Mikołaj Kipiel, s/o Makary, b. in 1923 in Zawadki near Biała Podlaska of 40 Aerial Artillery Regiment and Sgt. Olgierd Wasowicz, s/o Jakub, b. in 1908 in the eastern territories of the Second Polish Republic. In turn, E. Ginalski and E. Wysokiński suggest that the above event could have happened on February 14 and as a result one non–commissioned officer escaped”.
