Account of Eustachia Brehin (born in 1936 in Piątkowska) about the murder of the inhabitants of this village in February 1945:
„I was 9 years old during the resettlement. I remember the terrible experiences when Poles killed us Ukrainians, murdered us for nothing. Polish bandits attacked Ukrainian villages, took everything that could fall into their hands, leaving people naked and barefoot. In the summer we spent the night in the forests, and when winter came, it was impossible to withstand the frost in the forest. In February 1945, during an attack by a Polish gang on a village (they murdered 32 innocent people), it seemed that they would finish everyone off. In the summer, they all fled to the forest as much as possible, and the gang raged in the village. They burned half of the village, the Polish army came and forced the gang to abandon it”.

Fragment of the field report of Vasyl Capiak 'Potap', the SB‑OUN clerk of the 'Chłodny Jar' district, about the murder of Polish Army soldiers on 5 Ukrainians from Piątkowo:
„On September 20, 1946, 150 soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces arrived from Tarnawka to Piątkowa. Having robbed the inhabitants, they went to Żohatyn, and the two soldiers stayed in the village. At that time, the 'Korcz' fighter entered the village and encountered a Polish Army soldier in front of his house. 'Korcz' asked him who he was and the password. In response he heard: 'Swoj'. 'Korcz' unleashed a series from PPSz machine gun and killed the soldier on the spot. The second Pole ran out of the house and alerted the departing army. Having learned about the event, the Polish Army raided the area, and when they found no one, they murdered 5 people, took 2 horses and burned 23 farm buildings […]
