The New Year 1943 was welcomed together by Poles and The Ukrainians in great friendship, and during Lent, an oak cross was put together with the date and the inscription: „God, have mercy on us”. On May 3, the UPA murdered a Polish family of 11, including eight children, and shortly afterwards a 12–person family with nine children, the youngest of whom was 6 months old. Others: on May 10, 1943, they brutally murdered the 11–person Januszkiewicz family: their grandmother, parents and 8 children.

Witness Józef Koziński (born in 1932 in the village of Omelno): „Perestaniec is so close, I am talking [about] this Kopacz. I went with the Ruskies to get hay, they loaded, and I went, because he ran away to the village, but he had a lot of cattle. And those from Perestaniec say: «Come back, he has done nothing to anyone who will move you». And he came back. And I know. he lived for another two weeks, and they came and murdered them. They put it on the ground, because he chopped it with an ax, and a child in such a cradle, also with an ax, blood on the wall, also on the ceiling; and this is how I watched it all”.

Witness Józef Koziński (born in 1932 in the village of Omelno). Zbigniew Ziembolewski writes about the stationing of the SS Galizien unit in the farm in Myczków in the summer of 1944 in his book In the Sea of Hate (Krosno 2001), publishing the memoirs of Antoni Matuszewski from Myczków. Matuszewski reports that „in Myczków alone, they (i.e. Ukrainian SS men – note by S.Ż.) and the Bandera followers killed fourteen” Poles. Probably the murder of 14 Poles in Myczków in the summer of 1944, some confuse it with the UPA attack on Myczkowce and Solina, which took place on October 3, 1945. At that time, 12 Poles were murdered in Myczkowce and 9 houses were burnt, while in Solina, 15 Poles were killed and 13 houses were burnt. (Żurek., P. 29).

It was in the summer of 1944, although the Siemaszków on page 779 give 1943 as the date of the murder of the 11–person Kopacz family (parents and 9 children). However, in 1943 a witness could not ride „with Ruskies” for hay.
