Excerpt from the history of this kuszcz [i.e. military unit, GTKRK] in the V District II of the Zakerzonya Region, written by the commander of the Lubycza Kuszcz, about the murders of several Ukrainians in the Lubycz–Kniaz hamlets by Polish Army soldiers:
„The first Polish attack took place on April 14, 1945. The villages of Majdan and Święcie are burnt, there is a plunder, a few men have been arrested […] On the next day they burn down a few houses in Sołtysy and Lubycza, kill several women and children, while the inn in Kołajka leads to an exchange of fire with a kuszcz, causing losses again on their side. As a result, the Poles take revenge by killing a few older men, burning down the rest of the village, who survived the partisan fights with the Home Army […]
