January 31, 1946, [stopping place] — Notification of, Wołodymyr Choma 'Kyma', the clerk of the Security Service from the III district of 'Chłodny Jar' in District I of the Zakerzonya Region, about finding Ukrainians murdered by the Polish Army or the Citizens' Militia from Bircza:
„On the day On January 16, 1946, two fighters of the III region, 'Zmij' and 'Kary', found 15 human corpses in the village of Lipa near Bircza, who were victims of the Polish beasts. Most of the corpses were already decomposed, and that didn't seem to be enough to identify them based on their appearance. The dead bodies were buried in three different places. Three dead bodies were found near the Leipzig forest on the so–called Garłaszówka. All of them suffered severe abuse before the shooting, as evidenced by scuffed nails, broken fingers and barbed wire marks on the neck. Each of these three people was shot in the back of the head with series from a machine gun PPSz; the corpses were stripped down to their underwear and shoes taken.
In the same village, in the woods near the church, 7 corpses were found, the identity of which has not been established. On one of them, such documents were found: a certificate of the repatriation office No. 305 674 (attached), a worker card and a school certificate (the last two documents are kept for checking). The above documents were issued to the name of Bacic Dmytro, born on October 20, 1925 in the village of Trzcianiec, Ukrainian nationality. No documents were found on the other corpses. They were all severely tortured, and then shot in the back of the head, lying face down on the ground.
In the Prysada hamlet of the same village, in the woods near the lower 'ligenshaft' [i.e. garden farm, GTKRK], 5 dead bodies were found. All unrecognizable: faces so massacred that they cannot be identified. As stated, they were shot after being tortured. It is assumed that all the corpses were Ukrainian men murdered by the Polish Army or MO from Bircza. Their national identity can be ascertained on the basis of the found document.
All the corpses were unearthed and buried at the cemetery in Lipa in a common grave. The corpses were photographed.
