The Ukrainians murdered 3 Poles: „On April 7, 1943, in the evening, the Ukrainians attacked the house where a Pole lived, Mr. Malec, a teacher with his family. They managed to escape through the side entrance. That same evening, they attacked another Pole, also a teacher, Mr. Wacław Różalski. They shot him in his own apartment. The third attack of the same evening was carried out on the house of Władysław Pejta, to which Józef Wolski, a neighbor, came a little earlier. The knock on the door and the voice of a Ukrainian friend to open the door opened Pejtowa. A few Ukrainian neighbors burst into the apartment. Pejtowa hid in the bushes with her three children. After some time, she quietly entered the apartment, but there was no one there anymore. The next morning, Wolska came to ask why her son Józef had not returned home. There was a small peace dog at Pejta's and he found traces of Baraboshka, a Ukrainian neighbor, who had been abducted to the buildings of my Ukrainian neighbor, with his nose on the ground. They cried out with great tears, «Baraboshka, let our whom you have kidnapped». In vulgar words, he chased them away from his buildings. The people working in the field have heard that. Pejtowa went with the children to Łuck, and for about 3 weeks Wolska would come to Baraboshka's buildings every day, crying loudly, «Baraboshka, where you have buried my son Józio, to kill me too». I still have this voice of the pained Polish mother in my ears. Baraboshko would come to my house and say, «A stupid old woman thinks she will find her son. If hair grows in my hand, then she will find her son». The hair on his hand did not grow, and in a month, because on May 7, the murdered, buried about 3 km from the house were found. They were tied with barbed wire. Pejta's tongue was torn off, his arms and legs were broken, all over his body he had 73 stab wounds with a knife or bayonet. Wolski also had many knife wounds on his body. My already late My brother helped to wash and dress, and put them in the coffins. Later he told how they were massacred. They were buried in the parish cemetery in Zaturce in Wołyń. In 1999, I was in the place where the Polish cemetery used to be. Potatoes and beetroot grew there, although there was a large piece of fallow overgrown with weeds nearby. In the second half of the cemetery hummed bushes and «windmills» trees. There was no trace of the graves”. .
