The UPA robbed and burned Polish farms, the church and the presbytery, and murdered 49 Poles after brutal torture. „On June 7, 1944, bandits from the UPA made another attack on the village. This time they murdered a larger number of inhabitants. They were: Eufemia Białosowska (49), Anna Brzozowska (16), Maria Brzozowska (54), Jacek Fujara (55), Katarzyna Fujara (31), Katarzyna Fujara (5), Mikołaj Fujara (66)), Pelagia Fujara (38), Agnieszka Galant (31), Piotr Galant (32), Aniela Gornicka (20), Michał Kochan (24), Gabriel Lorek (64), Jan Lorek (24), Likieria Lorek (25), Stanisław Lorek (43), Julia Noworol (63), Michał Noworol (47), Stanisław Nowrol (18), Władysław Noworol (37), Władysław Noworol (14), Zenon Noworol (age 63), Zofia Noworol (age 5), Marcin Owsicki (69), Michał Owsicki (72), Katarzyna Owsicka (19), Katarzyna Owsicka (16), Maria Owsicka (35), Franciszek Owsicki (approx. 20), Zbigniew Owsicki (9), Anna Woźniak (24), Jan Woźniak (54), Józef Woźniak (25). In total, 53 people were killed in the attack on March 11, of which 46 were established, the remaining 7 people who were burned with their houses could not be identified. Before the genocide action on March 11 and June 7, the attackers robbed all Polish farms, including the rectory and church, of everything that was of any value. In addition, most people were subjected to excruciating torture prior to being murdered by the genocides. For example, Błażej Mucha was subjected to unimaginable torments before being murdered. First, the upper limbs were cut off, then the navel with the body was cut off. He was beaten until all the insides came out. Others have been hacked with axes or other” tools.
