The UPA burnt the property and murdered the Polish population, at least 57 Poles. The couple's heads were cut off (Adam Czarnecki with his wife); Aleksander Funa, 40, was cut with a saw; Out of 15 families, only 15‑year‑old Czarnecka survived. She lost consciousness on her head with a spade, and then came across a group of Poles.

There are still 120 people lying near the forest. It was the village of Mokrzec. You would have to put a cross there too.

My mother was born in the village of Mokrzec in 1924, her parents are father Józef Giełbuda and mother Maria Giełbuda née Siewierska or Siwerska. Unfortunately, I do not have any documents because everything has been destroyed. From my mother's stories, I know that her father was a gamekeeper and her mother worked on the estate owned by Mr. Ronikier. My mother probably had four sisters with male names such as Czesia, Józia, Władzia. I also know that there was a brother–in–law and children, but I know the name of one child, Julek. At the age of 16, my mother was taken to work by the Germans and the contact broke off. My mother only got one note from her sisters that it was very bad and it was not known what would happen with them. Later, from other friends, she learned that the whole family had been murdered by the Ukrainians and had been thrown into a well. After the war, my mother tried to find out anything, but no one could help her. Unfortunately, she did not receive any information, she died in 1994  […] In connection with the above, I am asking for information whether it is possible to get any documents or information about my mother's family. I am aware that it is a long distance in time, but you are still conducting research, supplementary lists of the murdered, etc. Maybe some trace of the family has just been left. I give the surnames and surnames once again: Józef Giełbuda – father, Maria Giełbuda – mother, Bronisława Giełbuda, my mother the only one who survived  […] In connection with the above, I am asking for information whether there is a possibility of reaching any documents or information about my mother's family.
