Four Polish young men from Karolówka: Burdzy, Groszek and the Bednarz brothers – victims of an attack by UPA terrorists in a roadside forest, where they were hanged on trees, and their horse–drawn carriage was plundered by the attackers”.

Mr. Edward Sabat pointed out to me that: while writing about the deaths of Władysław and Stanisław Bednarzy, Kazimierz Burdzi and Jan Groszek, I misused the words „killed” – „These were not people killed” – said Mr. Edward – „it was a hideous murder of boys who went to in his house to the village of Karolówka to get leftover items”. He emphasized that even today families could have a grudge against such a definition of „crimes. These three boys hanging on reins were cut off by your father” – he said. One of the murdered, Kazimierz Burdzy, who probably came to the event and tried to save them, had an ax on his head.

Karolówka

Józefa Kűnstler née Kaszowska wrote in Biuletyn Bukaczowiecki No. 3. „I also remember the red night over Karolówka and Piaski. We were still there then, at home during the day, and in hiding at night. Our neighbors were also still at their homes. Karolówka has already left the population. On the critical evening, someone told my father that I had to run away immediately. In the direction of Karolówka and Piaski, there were many carts with banderites and materials for setting fire to them. We immediately ran far enough to be safe. While running away, we saw the flames over the entire Karolówka. Our house was also set on fire. I remember a long string of fire blasting and crackling upwards also over Piaski from Karolówka. The night glowed ominously. That night, my neighbor Bałdyga was burnt in the house. In Karolówka, someone also died in the flames. It was the Image family  […] So far, I have repeated the information that Karolówka was burnt down on May 3. Mrs. Maria, d/o Józef Jeniec from Karolówka, claims with certainty that it was a bit different, that Karolówka was burned twice. First – in the second half of March 1944 – from Czerniów and Kołokolin. Then, the deserted and partially ruined village was burnt down also in the part adjacent to Piaski, together with Piaski. It was much later and this part was burned on the Polish May 3rd holiday. This account is in line with the memories of the Ukrainian woman with whom we always live during our stay in Bukaczowce. At that time, her story surprised us immensely. She recalled that as a little girl she saw flowering gardens between the rubble and whole but already deserted and ruined houses in the late spring of 1944. In the light of this information, it became clear that the abandoned and partially burned Karolówka was plundered for a month and a half before finally exterminated”.
