Nakwasza
The Ukrainians murdered at least 10 Poles. „The family of the lineman Buczkowski lived in the hamlet of Łukasze (belonging to the village of Nakwasza – note by S.Ż.). She left for Złoczów and there, in the suburbs, her parents and son were murdered. The Father was nailed to the wall like Christ. Jan Kowal «Jasko Florków» was murdered in Lukas by hanging on a half–scarf at the horse's neck. On the second day of Christmas, The Ukrainians visited Polish homes for Christmas carols. Among other things, they went to my brother Tomasz Czaplij. One of the carolers, Josyf Szczyrba, was beating T. Czaplij with his keys, and then he took a fork with a cucumber and offered it to everyone. During this, he stuck a fork in the throat of Tomasz Czaplij and injured him so badly that he died by the morning. In Bendas, the Węgrzynowski and Sikorów families were murdered during a Christmas carol […] The Sikors were led out into the yard and on a wood–cutting stool, they were cut with a saw, agreeing: «Cut slowly, so it hurts more». The Radecki family, father and son, were also murdered there. A rope and a stick were put around their necks and twisted until they were choked. Karol Małecki and his daughter Józefa Szeremet from Niemiacz, who came to her father for Christmas, were murdered. She was badly beaten […] At the same time, the Banderites murdered Maria Żurawska in Nakwasha. They pulled her hair and shot her 7 times”. .

We started attending the monastery (in Podkamień – comment by: Stanislaus Żurek) In the middle of January that year, that is from the moment of disappearance of: my father, Franciszek Pittner, 41, and Dominik Olender, around 40, who returned from Brody to Podkamień on 10 On January 44, they went missing in the village of Nakwasza, 3 km from Podkamień. The fate of these people has not been clarified to this day. Presumably, they were murdered near the village of Czernica, because there, after the arrival of the Soviet army in April 1944, the horses they traveled on were found. This is one of the secrets of Bandera actions.
