Polesie Voivodeship „Ukrainian partisans” murdered at least 156 Poles. Only 3 people survived. In the 1960s, a resident of this village, who had survived because he was not in the village during the slaughter, erected a monument on the mass grave with the inscription that there were 156 people murdered by the Ukrainians in it. When he visited his home town again after 10 years, he stated that the plaque had been changed into a grave, and the text reads that they had been murdered by the Germans.
