Jaworów
In one village near Jaworów, two trucks with Ukrainian–speaking Gestapo arrived once at night. They took a priest, organist, school head, 2 teachers, 2 seminar participants and a total of 16 people from the local Polish intelligentsia and all traces of them have been lost. Neither the authorities nor the Gestapo know anything about it and all searches have so far been unsuccessful. The head of the school was the president of Pol. KO and others also belonged to or cooperated with the committee. This is how the Polish intelligentsia is blunted. What purpose? Destroy the Poles no matter what happens next. The bloodthirsty, wild haidamak beast breathes an insane hatred towards Poles who are culturally higher, especially the defenseless. They want to create their „Ukraine” by murdering and groveling in front of those who show strength. The local Ukrainians seemingly deny it, they say They are murdering some „jaczyki”, but it is known that it is the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists), as in Volhynia, and here they continue their work: „We call us rizunamy”, one of the Lviv priests (Ukrainian priests) said, and I he ordered you, because the worlds of rizuna (holy torturers) – if there is no Ukraine – there will be no Lakhs. This is their password. They flee west from the Bolsheviks, and they are also afraid because they know what is on their conscience. They leave, provided with Polish papers, to summer resorts or to jobs prepared beyond the San River, where they previously sent the Lachs. They flee or go west, the mostly moral or actual perpetrators of these murderous acts, hoping that the Poles there will not recognize them and will accept them as their own. Our people usually do not intend and want to leave Lviv, probably in the event of extreme necessity, they want to persevere, although the „of possible” liberators, whom they know well, disgust people, but it's better than living under haidamak knives. Self–defense can be effective in larger centers and villages, but not yet sufficient, and this is the only argument: the support of the whole society, and not always unsuccessful negotiations with Ukrainians, who have never kept any agreements. For now, he is advising and organizing help for victims of terror, appeals for material help, and this is very urgent, there are more and more people in need of support, who lose everything and run away with their lives, the more important physical aid is ineffective. Here, too, in the streets in the evenings, shots are heard many times, many, mostly young Poles, who are taken away from the Ausweis. Apparently someone needs it. These are mostly the exploits of the devastated Ukrainian militia. Recently, there have been complaints and lamentations among The Ukrainians that they are murdering them in Krakow. We do not know whether this is true, but it hurts them, or maybe it is only an appearance and a pretext for further Cain crimes.
