Maćkowice
In early April, the UPA hanged two Poles there, leaving the letter to the authorities. On April 11, the „unit of the Polish partisans” arrived in Maćkowice (about two hundred people according to PUBP) and killed 28 Ukrainians. Eleven houses were also burned. The alarmed Red Army unit came to the village in search of the guilty parties and shot one Pole (policeman) with a gun.

Fragment of information from village representatives for the district elderman in Przemyśl about the murder of 28 Ukrainians in Maćkowice by a unit of Peasants' Battalions:
„A delegation from the Maćkowice community, Orzechowce commune, approached, consisting of the following persons: 1. Józef Żala, 2. Wajda Bronisław, village leader of the Maćkowice community, 3. Wojciech Drzystek, wanting to discuss security relations: on April 1 this year. Polish partisans came to the Maćkowice village and shot about 28 people of Ukrainian nationality, who are still unburied to this day. On a critical day, the Polish partisans met 6 Ukrainians next to the farm of Karczmarz Michał and shot them there”.

1950 November 29, Przemyśl — Fragment of the report of the interrogation of suspect Jan Dźwierzyński by Stanisław Jędrys, the investigating officer of the WUBP [Commie–Nazi Security Services] in Rzeszów:
„Question: — «Explain the activities of the BCh organization after the liberation of Poland» […]
Answer: — « […] there was also an action in Maćkowice, in which 80 people died by the Home Army group under the command of 'Brodacz'. It was then that the commander of this action informed the Poviat militia MO Command [in Przemyśl — BH] that he was carrying out an action in Maćkowice so as not to disturb him until 1 p.m., while from the MO post, of which I was the commander, the Poviat MO Command was notified by the orderly, to which Commander Biela replied that he knew about it, that at 4 o'clock talked to the commander of the group that carried out the actions by phone and that he was coming to Orzechowce around twelve o'clock. As announced by the district commander Biela, they arrived at noon, about 70 people and the head of the UB, Sawka, took the entire station from me and we drove through the Maćkowice cluster, but the gang had already left when we reached the Kuńkowce cluster, there I got an order to return with our men to the police station and they left for Przemyśl»”.
