Testimony of Stepan Kostyk, son of Paweł and Jarosław, b. in 1950 in Górowo Iławecki about the murder by soldiers of the Polish Army on Wasyl Synowiec:
„Wasyl Synowiec, about 24 years old, son of Tymotej and Anna née Pelc, was wounded by a shot of drunk soldiers of the Polish People's Army, who, after being wounded, set fire to one of the houses in Kormanice, they threw the wounded Vasyl Sons into it. And he died a tragic death there, burning himself alive. At that time, drunken soldiers of the Polish People's Army were shouting various blasphemies to Vasyl Synowiec, who was burning alive, and they were brutally laughing when he was killed. His body and burnt remains were buried by the inhabitants of Kormanice in the Greek Catholic cemetery in Kormanice. I know about the murder of Wasyl Synowiec from the stories of Stefanija Worobeć, the sister of Wasyl Synowiec, and Iryna Chanas. The coffin for Wasyl Synowiec was made by my uncle Józko Kostyk, a carpenter in Kormanice. He tore the boards from the barn and from them he made a tiny coffin for the burnt remains of a burnt man. The victim was buried at night in the Kormanice cemetery. My uncle Józek Kostyk told me about it personally”.

In addition, I am aware that two adolescent people (daughters) named Słupecka from the village of Złotkowice during World War II moved, out of fear for their lives, to a village (probably Kormanice) near the industrial estate Liegenschacht – the farm (manor house) where they worked. It was probably also about a marriage with a Ukrainian from Husakowo named Jan Szpytko, which one of them did not want. In revenge, both of them were skinned alive, carving crosses on their forehead and back.

Excerpt from Mykhailo Karaben's account of the murder by Polish Army soldiers on Ukrainians in Kormanice:
„At the turn of the end of summer and beginning of autumn 1945, ambushes and blockades from the forest by Polish and Soviet troops in order to fight UPA units were more and more frequent. The soldiers of the Polish Army searched the homes of the Ukrainians with particular care, abusing and killing the inhabitants. Four innocent residents were murdered in Kormanice:
55‑year‑old Nazar Sałahaj (in the morning he was walking towards the forest to get a clover, he was shot by a Soviet ambush),
25‑year‑old Mychajło Kamiński (murdered in an animal manner by the Polish police, when he was going to the Żupa district in the evening girls),
35‑year‑old Paweł Krok from futora Koreń (shot by Polish soldiers at dawn near his home)
and a man from a neighboring village who was going to Przemyśl to the bazaar (shot by a Polish ambush in the field between Kormanice and Kniazyce)”.
