Nielepkowice
Fragment of the memories of Michał Knysz, born in in 1932 in Czerwona Wola:
„After our deportation in Nielepkowice, an incident happened, about which Maria Gajda, our neighbor, told us. After exile, a Ukrainian woman stayed there in the village, because her son served in the Polish Army. The bandits from across the San came and robbed her of everything, loaded their property onto her wagon and headed for the ferry, taking the woman with them. On the ferry, the bandits shot her and threw her into the San River, and they went to the other side themselves. The son came for the funeral, then he returned to Nielepkowice at all, but was soon murdered there”.

[The Ukrainians] murdered 3 Poles. „On March 27, 1945, Jan Kaniowski, Józef Kaniowski (our father), Jan Błajda, Jan Sajdutko, Michał Wysocki and Michał Hartlip gathered in the evening to be on guard in the village and were then surrounded by the UPA by the San River. The UPA opened fire and then the following died: Józef Kaniowski, 40, Michał Wysocki, approx. 22, and Jan Błajda, 40. In the darkness, Jan Kaniowski and Jan Sajdutka, who was wounded in the hand, managed to escape. Michał Hartlip, injured in his leg, was caught, tied with barbed wire and taken to the forest. His stepbrother, the UPA, interceded for him. Battered and unconscious, two days later, he was dropped off in the village. The three previously shot Poles, including our father, were thrown into the San. The bodies of Jan Błajda and Michał Wysocki were found. Our father was never found and even the family does not have the grave of the closest man. The only memento of that terrible night was a cap with a shot—hole shot in two places, which caught on a twig of wicker”.
