The UPA shot a Pole, stung and dragged the tied horse through the whole village into the forest, where they abandoned the body (it was Piotr Śnieżyk). His family, thanks to the help of a Ukrainian, Laba, married a Pole, left for Poland. For this help, in July 1944 the Bandera followers murdered the entire 5–person Łab family, including their 15‑year‑old daughter tied upside down to a tree and she died.

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.

The remaining members of this family (Śnieżyków – comment by: Stanislaus Żurek) Survived at that time thanks to a Ukrainian, Aleksander Łaba. Piotr's family immediately left for Nowy Sącz. Alexander tilled their land, hoping for their return and for their livelihood. He dared to tell his neighbors about it. When the bandits found out about it, in the summer of 1944, they murdered the whole family: 60‑year‑old grandmother, Aleksander, and his wife – a Polish pregnant woman, a five‑year‑old son and a fifteen‑year‑old daughter. The girl was tied alive to a tree, head down. And thus this child died. This crime started a long list. I give the names that I remember, of people murdered by the Ukrainians, but I would like to point out that this is an incomplete list: Jan Śnieżek, Maria Florko, wife of Józef – my uncle, Ptaszek – father and his two daughters, Maria Kunicka, Michał Kunicki, Michał Florko.
