Karasiówka
At least 114 Poles (49 women, 37 men, 28 children) were murdered during the German–Ukrainian pacification, many of the victims were burnt together with the buildings.
Karasiówka, situated between forests, was a small colony with 20 farms. Some sources state that the number of those murdered – residents of Karasiówka and the nearby Wólka Radzieradowska – reached 142 people (37 men, 49 women and 57 children). Witnesses testified that 17 people were burned alive in one of the barns. In turn, the family of a local gamekeeper was to be slaughtered with knives. Young women were raped before they died.
