The Ukrainians murdered 18 Poles, including the 8–person Gliwiński family (parents and their 6 children) with axes. „Antoni Kossowski, after setting up the economy in Nowa Natalia (later Kadobyszcz), which, according to my assumptions, in 1906, was appointed the mayor of the Bereźne commune of the Rivne district  […] . So when he moved to Natalia Nowa around 1903, he was already 42–43 years old. By this time, he was already well versed in farming. So he was running his own way, and that's good. Even those who killed him later stated in Polish, «He was a very good farmer». «Why then did you kill him, so old, and his sick wife?» I asked. Answer: «Because they were Poles». That's the only reason. This statement alone is an admission of genocide. After all, it was said by the perpetrators of the crime – Łyszczyszyn and Morykoń. They say it openly. Only the government does not want to recognize it, because the crimes of genocide do not expire. They prefer to lie, falsify facts. They refer to some antediluvian events  […] . Being personally in 1998 at the crime scene in Kadobyszcz, I talked to one of the murderers – Iwan Łyszczyszynern, he was once a farmhand at Kossowski's. He said that they had murdered Kossowski and his wife «because they were Polish». Without any other comment. I asked when we were standing in our yard opposite the cottage, «where did you kill them? In a hut?» He replied with a raised voice, «No, there», pointing towards the corner of the former fence. I wanted him to come over to this place, but he didn't want to. So I went alone – he suddenly shouted «aaa» and called me to him. He said, «She was coming here and shaking all over». So I asked «what about him?» He said nothing, lowered his head and turned to where his sister–in–law was gathering flowers of the field. I also asked «what about Marysia Szymańska?». Then he laughed out loud. «So who is buried in this pit?» – I insisted. He said, «Kossovsky, this fool and this Petra from Kossovsky». So I asked «what about Szymańska – Marysia's mother?». Answer – «She is there». That's all I learned from him. Morykon, who accompanied him, stood in the distance, talking with the grandson of his sister–in–law. We gathered together and went to the car. I took a few more glances at the cemetery, the surrounding area and we drove back, taking a souvenir photo with these two at the departing one. They didn't really want to, but agreed  […] . On December 29, 2008, I called our cousin Dorota Majda in Poland. For I had some doubts as to how Piotr Kossowski was murdered  […] . Dorota – as it turns out – knows exactly this story. Well, according to her, Szymańska with her daughter Marysia was in Kadobyszcz that unfortunate night (or evening) and they were joined by a married couple – Maria and Piotr Kossowski – for an overnight stay (apparently for better safety in the group). And that's where they were attacked by bandits from the neighborhood. Maria – Piotr's wife – managed to jump out of the window and run away, thus saving her life. The rest were murdered. According to Dorota, Piotr was hit by something and fell, but was still alive. The attacker threw himself at him and stabbed him while he was lying, singing «Poland is not yet lost»”.

Szymański Józef 1898, wife INN (widow), children: daughter from the wife's first marriage, b. before 1924, son Franciszek 1924. Józef was a soldier of the 8th Uhlans in Ciechanów in 1920 (he probably took part in the Soviet–Polish war). In 1943, together with his son Franciszek, he was already a soldier of the 1st Polish Army (at Berling's), therefore, during the Banderite pogroms, „only” his wife and stepdaughter (she was deaf) were murdered. As far as we know, the wife was beheaded with an ax and the daughter torn alive with horses. His son, Franciszek, joined the 1st Armored Brigade and in 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, he died during the landing on the Vistula (he died in a hospital in Józefów near Warsaw). After 1945, Józef settled in Janowo near Chełm Lubelski.
