The UPA murdered 8 Poles, including a father with a son and daughter, and parents with a daughter, 20‑year‑old Julia Bałajewicz. „Kazik went to the attic, Julka hid in the chest. Kazik got the first one. He got a bursting bullet and fell off the roof. Julka was taken out of the box and raped. She told her stepmother that she asked: «gentlemen, did what you wanted, spare life». a shot was fired […] I am sitting. and here is a cat on the threshold. a large white cat. There was no such thing in our village. He stands and meows so pathetically and that's when I got scared. It was probably my mother, or her soul, who mourned the death of her children and husband. I can still see it today. He wailed for a long time on the threshold, then he went to the chamber where Julka was lying, and to the other, where my father was. He lamented and went to the field”.

Across the bed was Gienia, a sister of 14, in a shorter shirt (covered with a scarf by Marczewska). Her face was intact. The sheets on the bed were dingy. She was raped before she died. A death bullet entered the neck and exited with the top of the head. As if a rifle was put on the lying one and a shot was fired. There is a pool of blood under the bed and a Gypsy dog. Mom in the chamber, in underwear. Two shots up close. A large hole in the back where the liver came out. Dad in the attic, all in the waist with a burst shot.

Madziarki
The UPA massacred 8 Poles. „On the night of January 28/29, 1944, Ukrainian Bandera followers entered the village in Madziarki. They also did not miss our home. There were only mum, dad, brother Sigismud and the youngest sister Eugenia. The night was dark. Father and brother went to sleep fully clothed. Mother and Eugenia went to bed. There was a moment of silence. Suddenly there was a flash and a bang. The east–side window flew out. The shots started, a whole series of shots. The men jumped up from their beds and were hurt right at the beginning. They opened the door from the north, there was no one there. Everyone ran to the attic, and at the last moment my dad grabbed a scythe. Banderites began to climb the stairs. The father swung. It was the last thing in his life. The attackers stepped back for a moment. Then they pierced the dad's figure in half with a series of automatic machines. There was nothing my brother could do. He cut the thatch, went to the roof, moved over the stairs, jumped off. The next day, when the shooting stopped in the village, he went home. He saw that in the room across the bed was Eugenia lying in a short shirt (covered with a handkerchief by her neighbor, Marczewska). Her face was still. The sheets on the bed were dingy. She was brutally raped before her death, and the fatal bullet that was delivered to her entered her neck and emerged from the top of her head. It looked as if a rifle had been put on the bed and a shot was fired at her. There was a pool of blood under the bed, the faithful dog Gypsy was lying next to it. My brother found my mother in underwear in the chamber. Two close–up shots were fired at her. There was a large hole in her back and the liver had come out. Father was lying where he died, in the attic. All three were buried in the parish cemetery in Krystynopol in a common grave. The inscription on the tombstone reads: Eugenia Tetera, Anna Tetera, Paweł Tetera – killed by the bullets of the murderers on January 28, 1945”. See on the night of January 19–20, 1944.

Extract from the interrogation report of Wasyl Pyłypczuk, a former member of MO in Krystynopol, by an employee of the SB‑OUN 'Wadyma' about the murders of no less than 10 Ukrainians from Madziarki by members of the Citizens' Militia of the Republic of Poland from Krystynopol:
„After burning Madziarki, Poles arrested the servant Iwan 70‑year‑old man for allegedly having a machine gun and discs for the 'finka'. During the interrogation, the Poles beat him so much that he died a week later. Then they arrested Dyki, around 50, accusing him of having a grain warehouse, a machine gun and the fact that his daughter was a nurse in the gang. He did not confess to anything, so he was killed during the interrogation […] Musija from Madziarki was so beaten that he passed out[?]. They put him into a box and buried him behind the monastery on the eastern side. The second Dyki was beaten so much that after being released, he died at home. When they arrested another servant of the Basilian priests for allegedly having a machine gun, and when they caught him trying to escape, the commandant ordered me to shoot him. I told him to run away, then I caught up with him and shot him. They also murdered an unknown man and buried him in a dungeon in the castle.
At the same time, when Madziarki was burning, Przybyła Stach, Bilański from Zabuż, King from Zabuż, Pereszluk from Zabuż, Gniewek from Zabuża, they set fire to a farmer's house whose name I do not know, I think Juźka and the whole family were put on fire alive. All burned there. I do not know how many members this family had.
One time Bazylo was returning to Hrubieszów, he shot the farmer, Ciona Łukasz, who was carrying manure. Then he threw him into the well and took the horses away. Bilański and Król were then together with Bazyl […]
Once Białowąs and Białoń boasted that they shot one woman while driving from Madziarki.
