Ozierany (Jezierzany)

On October 16 or November 2, 1943 the UPA murdered at least 15 Poles brought from the surrounding villages in the old cemetery, including a married couple with a 2‑year‑old daughter, a mother with a small child, a 19‑year‑old girl, a mother with a 20‑year‑old daughter and a 4–month–old a granddaughter, a woman in the 60s and 70s, 2 men, a father with a 7‑year‑old son, who asked the murderers what he had done to them that they wanted to kill him. „at the same time as in Budy Ossowskie, the Ukrainians carried out a pogrom in Peresieka. Some of the inhabitants of Przesieka, however, did not want to leave their town, hoping that the Ukrainians would not move them. These, in turn, dragged them out of their homes, led them to the cemetery in Jeziorzany, and then murdered them, subjecting them to sophisticated torture. However, wounded Zofia Padowska emerged from the pit. She managed to crawl to the house of Ukrainian friends and ask for water. at the sight of her, the men grabbed axes, but the hostess of the house stood up in her defense, preventing the woman from being killed. It was taken to the sanitary facility in Zasmyki. I remember getting scared to see her mutilated face. The woman survived, but her entire immediate family remained below in the Jeziorzany cemetery. From my cousin Bogumiła Figurowska, I found out what was happening in Peresieka  […] The crimes in Peresieka were committed by Ukrainian neighbors. The initiator of the murder was the Orthodox pop. «Hawk», having learned about the murder, sent a group of partisans to Peresieka, which the Ukrainians greeted with shots. When our people fired, the Ukrainians fled. The people of «Hawk» searched the church where they found several rifles, which they took to Zasmyki”.
