Easter Sunday – „On April 9, 1944, on the first day of Easter, the burnt corpses of four people were brought to the church in Dashova (Stryi district) [it should be: Dashava (Stryi district)] on a ladder cart. The sight was terrible. It even moved the Germans. A German officer, assisted by two soldiers, went to the church and brought the Pop (orthodox priest). They were screaming at him terribly. The officer brushed away the straw covered with the bodies with a stick and shouted at the priest as he was raising his people that they were committing such crimes. Priest grabbed his head and shouted: «I am not guilty». I watched this incident from a distance of 20 meters. It was the body of Poles from the village of Krychówka, which was burnt that night by the UPA”.

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.
