The Ukrainians murdered 4 Poles. Poles, at the sound of shots and the sight of the glow from the direction of Lipniki, hid, hence the Bulbowsk militia returning from the slaughter, searching Polish houses here, found only 4 Poles whom she murdered. The Ukrainians encouraged Poles to return, arguing that the slaughter in Lipniki was carried out by Soviet partisans. After the harvest they tied up those who returned, drove them to a bog near Lubomirka Stara, stabbed them with knives and bayonets, and then trod the bodies into the mud (11 people).

Kamienna Góra
After the massacre of the village of Lipniki in May 1943, the Poles left the village. In August, at the urging of Ukrainian neighbors who guaranteed their safety, 4 Polish families returned to their farms. They harvested and, when the corn was already in sheaves, the same Ukrainian neighbors one morning tied up all the Poles in the village with barbed wire and took them to the marsh near the Lubomirka Star colony. There, they stabbed 11 people with knives and bayonets, and then trampled the bodies into the swamp. „When the harvest ended […] , the Ukrainian neighbors in broad daylight tied everyone with barbed wire, their hands back, and led them into the swamp (quagmire near Stara Lubomirka) and there was murdered by slaughter […] When everyone was herded into this quagmire, people started to be stabbed with knives and bayonets. When, seeing this Drzewiecki antoni asked with the words «Boys shoot me», he received the answer: «Zabut is a zapotnaja smert, we tobi pokarzem, yak Ukrainian smert» («Forget about this honorable death, we'll show you what is the Ukrainian death of»). and at that moment he put his grandson on a bayonet, and the s/o 2‑year‑old Sawicka Zofia, lifted him up and, turning in a circle, said: «Dywysia Lasze as ukraine» (should be: «Dywyś lasze, as Ukrajina plasze», that is: «See Poles how Ukraine pays (takes revenge)»). Then they went to Drzewiecki, murdering him, then they walked over the corpses, crushing him into the mud, and there were 11 people. Sawicka Zofia was murdered in the same way – she received 16 stab wounds and was trampled into a swamp, and as none of the wounds was fatal, trampled into the mud, she regained consciousness and somehow dug out with her hands tied […] It was 2 p.m. when the German, who was guarding the workers cutting the forest, saw through his binoculars the figure of Zofia Sawicka walking, who was called «czuczuo» by the German. He called two Polish workers and showed him, asking what was it going on? He said he would shoot. The Pole, Maik, who could speak German, forbade him and ran towards the person walking, reaching her – she fell, losing consciousness again. She was brought to the aforementioned German, who sent a messenger for a railway ambulance to come from Równe. I saw the sight of the murdered person with my own eyes, this sight stands before my eyes with every memory: the body is mud, wounds and blood, a terrible sight […] A two–month stay in the hospital saved his life, but the trace remained for life: a distortion of speech ”. .
