I was born on January 15, 1930 in the village of Hurby, County Zdołbunow, voiv. Volhynia. My parents; father Albin and mother Stanisława née Wierzbicka. We moved from the village of Hurby to nearby Mizocz. In 1943, at the beginning of June 2 or 3 pm, we saw a glow towards our Hurbs, as if my parents had a feeling that these were Hurby. The first refugees arrived in a few hours. They told what happened. There were no German troops in Mizocz, only 4 gendarmes. I used to remember their names. I remember that one of them was called Hylo and he was Czech. The police were Ukrainian and a branch of the Hungarian army. Since my father knew German, those who escaped asked my father to go with them to the gendarmes and ask for help to save those who might still be alive. There was no way help was from the police so the gendarmes allowed their commanders to send a Hungarian army. The Hungarians were very accommodating to us, Poles. I don't know how many went, but there was enough to scare the Banderites away. Not many were left alive, but many were wounded, some died that day, others after being brought to Mizocz, but some of them survived. Returning to Mizocz, both the military and the Hurbieńce searched the roadside bushes where people had taken refuge. My father and one soldier found a girl in the anthill, who was wounded, and she called out: – Daddy, don't kill me (Daddy – uncle, that's what you called a stranger). It turned out that she was the d/o Witek Krasicki, my cousin, because Vitaly's mother and mine were sisters. Since none of the family was left alive, her father took care of her. But there were 6 children in the house, it was the father who allowed the girl to be adopted by a rather wealthy family from Mizocz. I don't remember the name. The same week on Wednesday, the Bandera followers attacked Mizocz. Our neighbor's daughter, Wandzia Procner (still alive, married Jan Chęc, and they lived in Kłodzko), she said when her father heard shots and saw that the houses were on fire, he escaped with four children to the garden downstairs, where potatoes were buried for the winter. Wandzia hid in a currant bush. When the Bandera followers set fire to their house, they came and found her father and these four brothers, she saw her father knelt on his knees and begged to be spared. But two Banderites came up and with the pitchfork one on one side and the other on the other, they stuck the pitchfork into his sides and dragged his father and threw it into the fire. Then they returned for the rest of the children and also took their hands or feet and threw them alive into the fire. She survived. As the Ukrainian police deserted in the meantime, the Germans put in their place whoever wanted Poles, mostly those whose family had already been murdered. There weren't many of them so they couldn't protect Mizocz. More than 1,200 people died then. It's hard for me to remember. At night, the Germans wanted to take me and my father, but if she wanted to, the whole family could go. We traveled with the whole family. We were taken to a labor camp in Salzburg, Austria. After the war, the whole family returned to Poland in the Recovered Land. I have been living in Montreal, Canada since 1965. There weren't many of them, so they couldn't protect Mizocz. More than 1,200 people died then. It's hard for me to remember. At night, the Germans wanted to take me and my father, but if she wanted to, the whole family could go.

Probably at the end of August 1943, on 20/21 at night, an attack took place on the city, or rather on the Polish defenseless families living there. They circled the city and murdered people all night. It was hell. They entered individual houses and slaughtered people, massacred and chopped them up. They shot at the escaping people, and murdered all they caught in a cruel, sadistic way – with knives, scythes and axes. They killed little children against the walls of houses and hanged them on fences. They searched for people hiding in various nooks and crannies. They burned down many houses. In the morning the attack was interrupted. 18 people died from my family, ie: uncle Maśnicki Jan and his wife Petronela and their twelve children whose names I do not remember. Grandfather Józef Błażyjewski and his wife, our grandmother Balbina, died. Aunt Kucharska Krystyna, who was ninth month pregnant, died. Several Poles from the German police who were defending us were also killed. A few Polish families of 4–5, not more, survived from the entire city. My family, among others. We probably survived because we took refuge near the barracks  […] The men took the bodies to one place near the cemetery and they were buried there in the great pit. For three days, bodies were collected from the streets of the city. The men who dealt with it could not believe that so much cruelty, bestiality and hatred can be in a person. The streets of the city were full of dead bodies, heads were often lying apart, other parts of the body were massacred. There was blood everywhere. These days of the attack are like a terrible nightmare in my memories.
