In Olejów – as the eyewitness Ludwik Pichur, the then secretary of the community testifies: on March 4, 1944, when I was returning from the mill in Trościaniec, I encountered a few carts leaving Olejów. Armed individuals rode on the first and last cart. In the center, on the Leon Grzeszczuk forester's carriage, were: Walerian Pawłowski – headmaster, Karol Kowal – retired teacher, Kazimierz Wielichowski – forest inspectorate and coachman – 17‑year‑old Józef Miaskowski. This whole column turned off the highway onto the road that led to the village of Manajów. Everyone was cruelly murdered in the nearby forest.
