The Ukrainians murdered 6 Poles who were going to pick potatoes, including 3 13‑year‑old children with knives. Wacław Świetlicki reported: „My father, Franciszek Świetlicki, was stabbed in the hands with knives, which he used to protect my sister, Stanisława Świetlicka, who had her entire back chopped with knives, so that her insides were on top. Stanisław Cieślak had a gouged eye out and a five–pointed star cut out on his cheek. andrzej Kuźmicki had half his head cut off. all these four people were thrown into our well. aleksandra Kuuźmicka had a pierced head (brain outside) and was thrown into the second well, while Kazimierz Krupski had broken bones (he was rolled up in «roll» and left under the fence)”.
