(According to a witness, the Rivne district) The Ukrainians murdered at least 7 Poles and 3 Jews. Witness Aniela Jagoda Bondalska, who was 14 at the time, reports that the colony had 21 houses, 20 Polish and 1 Czech family. Since March, they have not stayed at home, fearing a robbery. During the attack, most Poles fled to the forest. They burned the father and his 4‑year‑old son alive by throwing the straw into the hideout and setting it on fire. They nailed the old woman to a plum and pulled the insides out of it, ordering them to watch the Ukrainian, her son's wife. Victims had eyes pierced out, tongues cut out, women breasts cut off.

The first attack of the UPA gang on the Perczyn colony took place on March 20, 1943, around 6 p.m. Maria Pazio was shot during this attack, and 3 days later she died in a hospital in Dubno  […] Another attack and the final burning of Perczyn by the UPA gang took place on May 18, 1943, after 20.00. The murdered were: Bożena (Bona). Jasińska, 70 (they nailed her to a plum and pulled her insides outside), Józef Jasiński with her 4‑year‑old son Krzysztof (burned alive in the cellar where the UPA threw straw and set fire to it), Józefa Mrówczyńska, 17 (burned alive) and her my aunt (she came from Rivne to visit), Karolina Buchar (a widow, cruelly murdered) and Antonina Tupalska. Józef Tupalski (Antonina's husband) contacted a neighbor of Czech nationality who lived nearby, who saw the late Antonina, she held her bloody breasts and crawled under the agricultural machine that stood in the yard and there she died in terrible torment (she gouged a hole under the machine with pain). Late in the evening, after the Tupalski farm was burned and plundered by bandits, this neighbor buried the body of the late Antonina Tupalska. Among the victims was also a Jewish family (an elderly woman with a daughter and her 10‑year‑old son), hiding at one of the farmers from Perczyn. During the fire, they ran out of their hiding place and tried to escape into the forest. He caught up with them and one of the Ukrainians shot dead. In 1943 (before the attack), the Banderites took from the house of the brothers Antoni Bukhar, 27, and Marian Bukhara, 25, and they were not heard of. According to a Ukrainian woman from the village of Buderaż, they were shot by the Bandera followers.

In total, the UPA murdered 10 Poles and 3 Jews in the Perczyn colony. W. and E. Siemaszko on p. 114 say that they did not find any information about the fate of Poles in this colony. Information from Mirosław Kowzan: „I am sorry to inform you that Genowefa, the d/o Maria and Józef Jasiński, died in Milcza in today's Ukraine. During the UPA gang raid on Perczyn on May 18, 1943, Maria, who was of Ukrainian origin, asked to spare their lives on the lap of the Bandera followers. The Ukrainian kicked Marynia away, and she, crawling and kissing his officers, continued to beg for mercy, saying that she was Ukrainian. Banderowiec ordered her to pray in Ukrainian, which she did immediately. after reflection, the Ukrainian will spare Marynia and her three‑year‑old daughter their lives, but they had to watch the death of husband Józef and son Krzysztof, who were burned alive in their home. Maria was pregnant at the time. In great trauma, they managed to escape to Buderaż, where they took refuge with brother Maria. Exactly six months after this event, Maria gave birth to her second daughter, Genowefa. For a long time, all three hid from people. Maria taught her daughters Bronisława and Genowefa to speak Polish perfectly. No one in our family knew anything about the fate of Maria and her daughter Bronisława. Everyone considered them murdered. Only after many years, when in 2012 I erected a cross in the place of the remains of the people from Perczyn murdered by Banderites and on May 18, 2013, a joint Polish–Ukrainian prayer for the murdered took place under this cross, two elderly women approached us, introducing themselves are Bronia and Eugenia, the d/o Józef Jasiński, my grandfather's brother. The fate of my family was told in «Cross over Perchyn» book that I have written with Ewa Siemaszko help”.
