The presbytery was attacked by a band of UPA, which plundered the building, and then tied up and kidnapped the parish priest, Fr Marceli Zmora. „The eyewitness accounts show that the Bandera followers of the restrained priest, dressed only in a nightgown, threw it on the wagon with the property stolen from the presbytery and drove away. For the following days, they kept him in Miżyniec, in one of the houses occupied by Ukrainian nationalists. They accused him of conducting espionage activities and carrying ammunition for Polish partisans. In order to extract a confession, they tortured their victim and forced them to write out false birth certificates in Polish. The priest was not broken by”.

Fr Marcel Zmora from Roman Catholic Przemyśl diocese was murdered on July 19 (14.07 or 16.07 according to some sources), the place where his body was buried is unknown.
„In 1914/5 during I World War, during a few months long Russian occupation (during which Przemyśl fortress was under siege by the Russians and the vicinity was under constant shell fire), managed to save Mościska parish church and rectory from fire. In 1918/9, during Polish–Ukrainian war, arrested by the Ukrainians under suspicion of espionage and held in Sambor prison. Beaten and tortured.
After German and Russian invasion of Poland in 09.1939 and start of the II World War, during the genocide perpetrated by Ukrainians, known as «Volhynia genocide», abducted on 16.07.1944 from Bojowice, where he settled after his parish rectory was burnt, by Ukrainian nationalists from the genocidal OUN/UPA organization.
Interrogated, tortured and murdered prob. in Miżyniec”.

In the summer of 1944 the Banderites kidnapped a Catholic priest, Marceli Zmora, from the Plebania in Husaków. He traveled all the way to the village of Mieżyna on a cart, serving as a seat for the Bandera followers. Then, in their hideout, they forced him to write out Polish birth certificates, and after a few days they committed a macabre murder. The body of the parish priest was found in Mieżyniec, buried in dung. The present burial place is unknown to me.
