Kobylnica Ruska
Excerpt from Stefania Ołeksiuk's account of the murders of Ukrainians in Młyny by members of MO:
„On February 3, some policemen arrived from the village of Mała Kobylnica. Nobody knew them, because they never came from that side […]
Petr Bukowski's brother, Ivan, was also unlucky. They took him with his horses and a cart to the village of Wielka Kobylnica, from where he never came back”.
