source: Siemaszko Władysław, Siemaszko Ewa, „The genocide perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists on the Polish population of Volhynia 1939 - 1945”, in: Warsaw 2000, p. 583—584
In one of the houses where a group of people had gathered, the UPA ordered the little s/o Balbina Mroczkowa to hold a candle and illuminate the murder of his mother, brother and other people. At the end of the murder, the person holding the candle was hit in the head with an ax and lost an eye. „Kazimiera Marciniak was born in Volhynia. As a 13‑year‑old girl, she witnessed the genocide of Poles committed by the UPA. Kazimiera's family fled to Kadyszcz, and then to Ołyka, where the refugees were coming. – Several dozen people lived in the closed town hall. About 10 families in one room – reports Kazimiera Marciniak. Soon, however, the town itself was attacked. 42 people were killed. They saved the Poles from further slaughter. German occupiers. Banderites ordered one of the men to hold a candle while they were murdering his family. Then they told him to lie down and wanted to chop off his head, but they only scratched him in the dark. When he woke up, he ran to the headquarters and asked to save the Poles, because Ukrainian gangs were murdering. The Germans left, started shooting and then the Ukrainians gave way – recalls Mrs. Kazimiera. The next day, she saw scenes that she would never forget for the rest of her life. – Together with my friend, we looked into the houses where they were murdered. In one of them, there were two boys, 8–10 years old, lying on the couch (these were the sons of the man who went to the Germans). Their heads were chopped off. In another house we saw a pregnant woman stabbed to death. There was a cradle nearby, and maybe a baby and a half in it. It had gouged out eyes and twisted fingers, a cut and outstretched tongue. It was lying on the blanket, everything was covered with blood around it. In another house, the man refused to open the door for the bandits. He lay chopped up with axes. He still held the door in his hands – describes Kazimiera Marciniak”.
