Kokutkowce
The Banderites murdered 5 Poles and 2 Ukrainians. „Kokutkowce – a village in the present Zborowski county, before WWII it belonged to the Tarnopol county. It was mostly inhabited by Poles. In 1908, at the expense of the parishioners and Franciszek Sakowicz, a brick church of St. Mary, which is now in ruins. A small Polish cemetery with a unique charm has been preserved from the old days. It is located on a hill in a grove just to the left of the main entrance gate. Among the old tombstones, we found and cleared the names that sounded somewhat strange: Laskowski, Kazik, Kołtowski, Krzemień, Stopyra, Świrski, Gray. Particularly noteworthy is the mass grave of five Poles murdered on November 15, 1943 by the Bandera followers and the names of the Gray Wawrzyniec engraved on a wooden board, Migała Jan, Nowak Andrzej, Świrski Władysław, Switłyk Dymitr. The mass grave of Poles was cleaned, the inscriptions were repainted and flowers were laid, the founder of which was Czesława Józwa (Andrzej Nowak's daughter) – a resident of Chróścina”.
