general info
I got a lot of information about Łukowiec and Oskrzesińce from Mr. Władysław Skowron. During his two or three years in the countryside, he remembered dozens of names and talks about events about which I don't know much. – Like the attack in 1944 on the mill in Łukowiec. – The mill was slightly outside the village. The Ukrainians attacked him while several people were working there and kidnapped everyone. Despite the fact that the Poles organized themselves quite quickly and scoured the nearby forests, people were not saved. The manager, Mr. Gałan, and Piotr Siekierski, who worked there, and Bolesław Brys, and his sister were kidnapped from the mill.

One of the families visiting Łukowiec brought a girl raped by the Bandera followers. What this poor woman has gone through, nobody knows. After the baby was born, she put her head into a bucket of water. Siekierski, a disabled boy who lives next door to his grandfather, was slaughtered by the Ukrainians with a saw. When the Home Army stopped the Ukrainian salt carts, which were then checked, and after they left Łukowiec, someone robbed them (most likely Poles), the Ukrainians complained to the Russians and they attacked Łukowiec. As they traveled through the village in a row, they killed 14 people.
