[The Ukrainians] murdered 7 Poles, including a family of 4 with 2 sons. „Please include Bronisław Stanisław Okęcki on the letters of the murdered. He lived in the village of Markopol. The Gwork family was murdered there. My uncle Okęcki lived with them during the war, he reports in 1943 (September, October). After that, there are no more letters or other correspondence. In 2009 I was in Markopol, but I did not get precise information when it happened and under what circumstances. It was even suggested to me that he fled to a neighboring village (I don't know the name) and was to die there. In the list of murdered people it is stated that 6 people died in Markopol, but unknown, because NN is marked. Is the Gwork family in it, or is there any information about other people? Please, provide information by name about Bronisław Okęcki, b. 6 August 1893 Borowica Duży, parents are Edmund Okęcki (also murdered in 1943) and Eliza née Mogilnicka”.

Józef [Dajczak Halaburda] married Hanka Budniczka from Manajów, who was a wealthy only child. They had one daughter, Anielcia, who was very pretty and shapely. After the front, in the winter of 1944, uncle Józef took the grain to the mill in Hnidawa. The owner of the mill was a Pole named Babirecki. At the same time, other Poles also found their way to the mill. They were: 20‑year‑old Władzio Trymbulak from Manajów and my father's cousin – Jasio Olender from Hnidawa. At one point four armed Ukrainian Banderites entered the mill. They ordered the Poles to sit on a sleigh and drove them to the town of Markopol, north of Hnidawa. They were all crammed into a free–standing barn. The Ukrainians set fire to the barn and the people inside. To this day, it is not known whether the Poles were shot and whether they were tied before the arson. After a few days, the mothers and wives of the murdered found their charred bodies. It was difficult to identify them because only the corpses of the bodies remained. Uncle Budniczka recognized her husband by the button on the pants. The button was preserved because the body was lying on its stomach and the fire could not digest the scrap of fabric to which it was sewn. The other two wives and the mother took one of the charred bodies, not quite sure if they had taken the right one.
