The Banderites murdered at least 16 Poles. „Bolesław Baraniecki from Miryn next to Mielnica located south–east of Kowel: July 10, 1943: Part of the family was already in Mielnica. My father slept, together with the brothers and other children of the family, in the barn. Some boards in the walls of the large barn were broken from the side of the arable land. At dawn, the Bandera followers entered the property. In the yard, in front of the entrance to the house, they set up an anti–tank cannon and began calling to leave the house. They didn't wait long. Soon after the first men appeared in the yard, they began murdering. The rest of the family saved their lives by running towards the forest. UPA bandits shot uncle Henryk Dobrowolski and uncle Ksawery Grandpa. Dad didn't run away. He stood around the corner of the barn in terror and prayed for the lives of his loved ones. He saw like uncle Tomasz Pietrzak, avoiding the Banderite balls, a ladder wagon jumped. However, he also failed to escape. What Dad saw a moment later, he remembered for his whole life. My grandfather fell facedown, green grass sticking out between the fingers of his clenched fists. After a while, he stopped moving. Only then did the father run into the forest, where he found the brothers and other surviving family members. They spent the night there. The next day, all the survivors came to Mielnica. Uncle Dobrowolski told me that in the evening someone from the family ran to a nearby forester's lodge to warn the Poles living there. There was a family with ten children. Twelve heads were found in the yard. The Banderites also shot Mykola, a Ukrainian neighbor who tried to warn my family. On that one day, July 11, 1943, over a dozen thousand Poles died as a result of genocidal murders throughout Volhynia. In the vicinity of Miryn, in Podryże, 97 Poles were murdered, in Wielicko 47, in the colony of Piaseczno 94”.
