When our son visited Komarów in the summer of 1992, our home was gone. In the empty place there was only a pear tree that used to grow in front of our house […] Two elderly Ukrainian women – residents of Komarów, who still remembered my parents, me and my sister, remembered the tragedy of those days with emotion and in a low voice. In the central part of the cemetery, next to the cross, they showed their son an empty place covered with grass, hiding the bodies of our relatives and other victims of the Polish inhabitants of Komarów.

Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.
