Jezierzany
A group of several UPA broke into a Polish home at night and murdered the Sorokowski family of 6 and a neighbor, Janina Tomaszewska, her daughter's friend. Both the 18‑year‑old neighbor and the 19‑year‑old daughter, Bronisława, were gang raped by the Ukrainian „insurgents” before being murdered. „While reading the pages about the genocide in the Eastern Borderlands, I noticed the name Sorokowski. The Sorokowski family lived in the town of Jezierzany, county Borschiv. On March 8, they were brutally murdered by the Banderites. Sorokowski Michał, his wife Józefa Sorokowska née Pruska died, their sons Stefan and Jan / were at home on leave from the Polish army / their sister Bronisława. Janina Tomaszewska, Józefa's niece, was also murdered in that house. Janina came to say goodbye to the family before leaving for Poland, and because it got dark, she was afraid to go back, she stayed with her Aunt for the night. 11‑year‑old Leon Sorokowski survived from this house, a quilt was thrown over the sleeper when the Bandera followers came at night. The whole family was murdered with axes. The number of people was correct, so no more people were looked for. He was awakened by a terrible chill, the door of the hut was open, he ran into the yard in his shirt and saw the crime, he ran barefoot through the town to his Grandparents. Leon with his Prussian Grandparents came to Poland. They settled in the town of Kietrz. Leon is dead, he had a heart condition. Years later, his uncle Adam Pruski recognized one of the Banderites taking part in the murder on the train. He had his surname changed, he was the headmaster of a school in Łódź. He denied, but after some time his sister came to the family. Leon refused to make any settlements. I know this story because I grew up next door and I knew Lonka well”.
