Kalnica

Excerpt from Dmytro Hałanycz's memoirs about the mass murder Ukrainians in Kalnica by Polish Army soldiers:
— «Tell me on your own behalf: where were you, how did the murder go, how did you see it?»
— «I saw it that way. When I was hiding Dmytro Chwaściak, an old man killed yesterday [by Polish Army soldiers], we went out to dig the grave and I hid him. And there was already a priest, we felt something like that… that something appeared at the [village] border. We stop [the grave–digging]! The priest went to the presbytery, to the right, closer to them, and I went through the village to my home. When I was entering the house, I could already hear that they were coming to our village  […]
After the [soldiers] escaped, I watched from the forest what was happening in the village! How it burns! How terrible it looks! And finally we hear that the bandits are gone, we came. What did we just see? Dead bodies, leftovers burning out
».
— «What did these corpses look like?»
— «Dmytro Kuzemczak died with his son, perhaps 16 years old. Dmytro Kuzemczak was somewhere between 50 and 60 years old, so they didn't kill him or anything like that: they tortured him, tortured him until the whole village burned down. And they didn't finish him off, just one that was completely unrecognizable [they left him], like that.
And they killed like that. A woman, grandmother [Ksenija Prytyskacz — BH] took her grandson, 2‑3‑years old, on her back, when the village was already on fire, when her house was on fire, to run away to the forest. And she ran with him on her back  […]
Then they killed Vasyl Warcholak, a war invalid. Then they killed Kateryna Hałanycz, Dmytro Kuzemczak with his son, then Łabykowycz, an invalid who also returned, they killed his daughter and mother‑in‑law, 3 people  […]
Took Sadziński on, they took him to the cemetery to show where the killed and buried soldier was. And when they were leading him, he thought that he… He served in the army in the same way. And when he showed where this [soldier] was buried, they tortured him terribly in the cemetery, getting to the point that they finally took a board and nailed his tongue to a board with a nail and so they tormented him there. Yes, two of them, Sadziński in the cemetery and Kuzemczak, whom they caught near the house, were tortured  […] He died there.
They just shot the rest. Pass on dead people? They were Paweł Sadziński… Andrij Jursza, killed, taken from home, taken away a bit, shot. Łukasz Łysyk, they led him out of the house, gave him a tearing bullet that left half of his head. After all, yes: Andrij Macko, 16‑year‑old boy, killed; Marija Tchoryk, son Andrzej, 16 years old; Talka Kochan, they killed her daughter, she was 7‑9 years old, they killed her. We go further: Kateryna Hałanycz got a bullet tearing in her back, it is here [gesture with both hands crossed over her chest] everything came out. I moved it from the basement, from the threshold. And then our neighbors Dziubak, this woman, 95 or some years, left the house, they killed her, and she burned down  […]
Next, what do I remember, Kateryna Hapowa, and the rest of these people?

Note [BH]: According to Dmytro Halanycz, 36 people were murdered in Kalnica.
