They were all murdered with truncheons or pistol stocks […] Paweł Dreźniak (the second brother of the Dreźniak ladies) survived the slaughter and he reached my family, telling her everything. He was working in the field, he heard a terrible scream, he ran to help, but a Ukrainian from the bodyguard ordered him to run away, shouting „kill”. Paweł spent the night in the cowshed in hiding, where his sister Nastka came to milk the cows in the morning, she was crying loudly (she lost her daughter Jadwiga and two sisters Franciszka and Maria), he spoke to her, she asked „Pawluniu, are you alive”? and told him about the terrible events, when, after the murders, the Ukrainians organized a party, drinking vodka and boasting, one of them told how the escaping Franciszka Kaczor, „was beating with a club that her eyes popped out”. There is a grave in the place of execution commemorating the murdered.

Myców
November 29, 1945, [typescript] — Fragment of the report on the murder of Ukrainians from Myców drawn up by an unknown member of the OUN in the region of the 5th district of the 2nd Zakerzonya Region:
„The Polish Army and the Citizens' Militia in the number of 100 people encircled the village of Myców in the Hrubieszów district (Sokal) at 10.30. After entering the village, some of them carried out a robbery operation, terrorizing the unfortunate local women, old men and children […]
Among other things, robbing shoes, winter and summer clothes, chickens, ducks, etc., they ran into the farmer, Charek Stepan, born in on April 24, 1901, the son of Kindrat and Eufroszyn, who fully executed the meat quota for the authorities. They started to hit him with a rifle butt and pierced his belly with the barrel of the machine. The said host escaped with the words:
— «People, save! Murder!».
Marauders fired a machine gun and a manual machine gun at him, crossfiring. The farmer was killed on the spot, 100 meters from his house, he was given over 20 bursting bullets that massacred the deceased from head to toe […]
They put the stolen property [in the village] on 20 carts, including the cart of the local farmer Andrij Bohun, born On December 5, 1896, son of Paweł and Marija […] After putting the looted things back, they let [another] cart go home, but the aforementioned Bohun from Myców and Worobij from Przemysłowo did not come back. The population thought that they had gone with the Polish Army to Hrubieszów. The families waited 8 weeks impatiently for them — it was only on January 27, 1946 that the farmers from the village of Rusyń found them both killed and masked in the forest. Their identification documents were found next to each of them. The dead were taken to their native villages, where they were more precisely identified by their clothes. The faces were hard to tell because the ravens pecked at faces and eyes. These hosts were buried in local cemeteries”.
