[The Ukrainians] murdered the Oberd couple, and their 27‑year‑old daughter, mutilated and desecrated, died on July 23 in the hospital in Włodzimierz Wołyński. „Our relatives, my grandfather Maciej Szczerbicki's sister, Feliks with her husband Józef Oberda and daughter Wiktoria lived in a Ukrainian village in Izów near Uściług. The Oberdas were murdered and Wiktoria — seriously injured — died after 8 days in a hospital in Włodzimierz. Before her death, she managed to reveal the names of the torturers. They were the neighbors, the Kumas with whom the Oberds kept their children for baptism. The second daughter, who married a Ukrainian, died with him because he had not obeyed the UPA's order and had not murdered the Polish wife”.
