[The Ukrainians] murdered about 70 Poles. Genowefa Modrzejewska née Sobczyńska, then 5 years old, recalls how her mother, going to her death, told her to hide with her sister in a dog kennel. „It was cramped and dark in Kruczek's hut, terrible. I don't remember how long we were in the kennel. I must have fell asleep from fear. Emilka too. These hiding places taught us to be quiet, because this was what the moment commanded […] Ukrainian women took us from the kennel. There was a risk of death for hiding Polish children at that time. But they weren't afraid at all. They transferred us to another house. To grandmother Julia and grandfather Paweł Sobczyński in the village of Kołbań”.
