Pawlikówka
The Banderites and local The Ukrainians robbed and burned about 100 Polish farms and murdered 124 Poles. Poles lived mainly in Pawlikówka itself and in the hamlet of Budostan. The Ukrainians predominated in the hamlets of Baranówka and Czeryszenka. The first victim in Pawlikówka was a farmer named Gurdak, killed in July 1943. On the night of April 5–6, 1944 (sometimes the date is 4/5 april). Pawlikówka was taken over by the UPA branch. The Ukrainians set fire to Polish houses and shot at the people they met. The Polish population hid in cellars, dugouts and shelters, the rest hid in Ukrainian buildings or fled towards the nearby forest. a few The Ukrainians from Pawlikówka were identified among the attackers, they also robbed Poles' property and detected shelters. Grenades were thrown inside. Ukrainian houses were also found looking for Poles in hiding. The UPA unit left Pawlikówka the next afternoon. The next night, the UPA repeated the attack, burning the surviving Polish houses and murdering more Poles. „In the place where our house stood, there is another, new Ukrainian house. The d/o «Kasun» of the late Hrynia Baziuk, my father's murderer, came out of this house. She lives there now, on our farm, which was stolen brutally and cruelly. I lost my material possessions, but I took with me the terrible experiences of that tragic night, the cruel death of my father, constant fear and fear for life, groans and screams of murdered people, the roar and squeal of burning cattle and pigs in stables, the glow of fires burning around buildings, sleeping in the forest and in various hiding places on frosty nights and this constant prayer for a light death caused that my nervous system has become sick. It happens quite often to me that while I am sleeping, I constantly run away from the Ukrainians – Banderites and, overcome by fear, I wake up and find that it is only a dream. My dream is to complete the tidying up and commemorate the mass grave of 99 Poles murdered by Banderites – inhabitants of the village of Pawlikówka in 1944. My father, relatives, neighbors, friends, adults and children, including entire families, are buried in it. In this case, I turned to the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom in Warsaw, from where I received a letter of information in 1996. I received the last letter sent to me in 1998, as a reply to a letter addressed to the Consul, asking the relevant Ukrainian authorities to express consent to clean up the collective grave. Until today, I have not received such a permit, nor have I received a relevant reply”.
