Kłodno Wielkie

Ukrainians murdered Maria Konarska, born in November 25, 1925 Account of Jan Podgórski: „At the end of January (today I do not remember the exact date)  […] In the morning, getting off at the Kłodno Wielkie station, I saw a Ukrainian with a whip, who asked me if I had brought him medicines for his family, I replied that I had, then he announced that my wife and children were alive and that they were fine, but he advised me to leave as soon as possible. «Today they were mine, so I was able to defend myself, when others came, I will not be able to». – As it turned out later – he was the leader of the Ukrainian gang that attacked the village yesterday and who only waited to pick up the drugs and finish with me. Since I hadn't come the day before, he put his men around our house so that no one would disturb my family, he was so anxious for these medicines. I got into the sleigh with him and we drove to his house. Then, on the way to my home, I went to the forestry where we used to live. There I met my wife and Paweł. My wife was shocked and begged me, crying, to run away as soon as possible. We were standing next to a dying forester's maid lying in a pool of blood. Unfortunately, I was not able to help anything anymore. She was shot in the lungs when she recognized one of the bandits. The forester Załęski left the Forestry on the previous day. His deputy forester, Chuciński, and his family lived in our former apartment. Wife and child. He told us that when the Ukrainians arrived, he started firing a shotgun with «choppers» he had made. He shot one of them. He was sitting in the corner while his wife was handing him bullets. The bandits locked him in the house and blocked the door with a stump. They did not come for him, but for Załęski, so they left him alone, he was not a local. As I found out later, he went to his mother somewhere near Żółtaniec, and there he was caught by the bullets of the murderers  […] During the same night in our commune a dozen or so people were murdered – Poles, their children and families. Our further stay in this area became impossible”.
Account of Jan Podgórski's mother: „We could hear single shots, and glows of fires appeared in various places  […] This is how the whole night passed. In the morning the «mołojec» [Eng. young Cossacks] were gone. We heard the rattle of the car driving away. Suddenly, someone knocked on the porch door. It turned out that he was a mutilated, barefoot and cold, about 10‑year‑old s/o a gamekeeper from Sapieżanka (a neighboring village where there was a forester's lodge). He was crying and shaking all over. He said «father and mother killed, the forester's lodge burned, and I jumped out of the window and hid in the bushes». We gave him warm clothes, fed him and treated him, fortunately not serious wounds, and he went on to his aunt, who lived in Kłodnie  […] Paweł ran to the Leśniczówka. He came back and said that the forester and his family were alive but their Ukrainian maidservant who needed help was shot. We ran there. We couldn't help the girl anymore, she was in agony, lying in a pool of blood. Mr. Chuciński talked about the fact that she recognized the attacker and shouted «Ivan, you with the gang?» and he shot her”. .

Kłodno Wielkie

Our delegation in Żółkiew informs us that in the surrounding villages, Ukrainian terrorist gangs have recently brutally murdered about 80 people of Polish nationality, in particular in Wola Wysocka 11 people, in Kładno Wielki 40, in Wiązowa 16, Janówka 10, Fujna 8, Zameczek 3, in Rokitna 30. After the murders, these gangs set fire to the farms of the murdered Poles and, after waiting for the fire to consume them completely, they leave quietly, not pursued by any authorities. The church in Kładno Wielki burnt down. These attacks keep repeating themselves, often taking place so close to the city of Zhovkva that the fire can be clearly seen there.
