„Question: — «You were arrested as a participant in the murders, looting and setting fire to the huts of Ukrainians living in the village of Leszczawa Górna. Please tell me about it».

When you came to Leszczawa Górna, about 10 Ukrainians were killed in the place where my sister was hanged. The Polish militia shot them. In the center of the village there were huts set on fire by Polish policemen from Bircza and the village of Wojtkowa. My sister was no longer at the place where she was hanged, because the commandant of the police station in Wojtkowska sent the submarine with the body to Wojtkowska. I caught up with her near the church in Leszczawa Górna and headed for Bircza. Later I went to the village administrator, Stefan Popiel, where we drank wine with the commander of the Wojtków station, second lieutenant Zarański, and the policemen Soroka, Stasicki and Nachman»”.

I informed the police station in Bircza about this and we agreed with the commander that I and my policemen would surround the village on one side, and he on the other, because Leszczawa Górna lies between Wojtkowa and Bircza. On March 19, I sent 9 policemen and I took two with me. The village was already quiet. I met the commander of the militia, Wróbel, with him was Lieutenant Osypenko. Later, carts from Wojtkowa came with 16 detained Ukrainians who were hiding from the incorporation of the Red Army. When the carts pulled up to the tree on which Olga Wasylkiewicz was hanged, I stopped the carts, and when they all got off, I chose five young men, put the others in a row and ordered them to be shot. The order was carried out by a policeman from Bircza named Wacek. The carts with the other young men went to Przemyśl.
