On the New Year itself, I went with the Holy Mass to Parchacz. During the sermon, I presented the situation to the faithful. I told them that maybe it would be better if I did not come to them, because by gathering in the church, they risked a Ukrainian attack  […] Finally, I asked someone to speak on this matter. Then an old man approached the pulpit and, with tears in his eyes, his voice trembling with emotion, said: „Priest asks if we are not afraid?  […] Father, if we are to die in forests, in holes, in cellars, is it not better if we die here in the church?”  […] So I will come, as usual, next Sunday after the New Year. But I did not go anymore. During the night from Friday to Saturday, the Bandera followers attacked Parchacz, cruelly murdered many families, and the rest fled. A church man died then, All the altar boys died, the whole choir of girls was killed. There was no one else to go to.

The Banderites pricked 4 children from the Polish–Ukrainian Bukowski family (Ukrainian mother) with bayonets: three boys aged 11–18 and a girl aged 16. They threw one boy into a dry well, another one at the bottom of a war–time bunker, the third one buried alive, shallowly in the ground, they threw the girl into the Sołokija River. At that time, German gendarmes arrived and rescued the boys, while the girl miraculously, after a few hours, in winter, reached her aunt, where her mother was. After the war, she reported to O. Bielecki for a certificate needed for the wedding.
