6 families murdered, one family survived who lived near the forest „was slaughtered the next day by the Ukrainian rebels”. 36 Poles died here. Only one woman survived, who sat in the bushes for three days without food and then spent the whole night walking to Włodzimierz Wołyński through the fields, finding the bodies of the murdered. Antonina and Kazimierz Sidrowicz state: „were murdered by Ukrainians:
Sienkiewicz Hipolit, approx. 35, and his brothers: Kazimierz, approx. 25 and Antoni, approx. 20.

Piński Most
[The Ukrainians] murdered the last Polish family of 6 living here: 1 man, 3 women (wife and 2 of his sisters) and 2 children, aged 2 and 5. Others: the UPA murdered Poles who had survived the massacre of the previous day. Kazimierz Sidorowicz: „Ukrainian murders on the Polish population of Dominopol could be heard in the Polish—Jewish village of Piński Most, only 1 km away. an eyewitness to this was a Pole, antoni Sienkiewicz, who told me personally after the war that on Sunday morning, July 11, he and his family heard terrible, desperate human screams coming from Dominopol. He would tell me: «Based on the votes from Dominople, we quickly realized that this was where something terrible was going on, so me and my brother Kazimierz wanted to immediately run away to Włodzimierz Wołyński. From the very morning we saw horses walking freely in the gardens and cows and other cattle. Besides, there were no fumes from the chimneys of the Dominopol village. after making these observations around noon, we made sure that the people of Dominopol were attacked and murdered tonight and in the morning. Meanwhile, single shots were still coming from that side, at that time those who miraculously survived the first, most violent phase of the murder were killed. When my brother and I were still trying to make our family run away, we communicated with them that they were staying, while my brother and I were running away to the city. at that time, my father and mother Sienkiewicze and our sister Leokadia, around 30, stayed at home. Lodzia stayed because she wanted to persuade my parents to flee. Unfortunately, the next day on July 12, Ukrainian murderers attacked our village, Pinsk Most, and murdered many Poles, including my immediate family»”.

My parents and my sister were murdered in their backyard right after the harvest. In our colony, probably in August 1943, also died: Okapiec Maciej, approx. 65, his wife, approx. 60, and their son Jan, approx. 13, and grandfather Zymon, approx. 83, and his sons: Adolf approx. 40, Stanisław 35 years old and probably Jan, around 32 years old. The final crackdown with the inhabitants of our colony was preceded in July 1943 by another act of terror that paralyzed the local Polish community even more. On one day, the Ukrainians took 5 Polish men from the road, including Antoni Bydychaj, Eugeniusz Hypś, Adolf Burliński, Władysław Wawrynowicz and Antoni Hasiak. Then they judged them all in Gnojno, and then two armed Ukrainian guards took 5 strong, of young Poles to the Świnarzyński Forest and since then no word of it has been heard of them. The cart on which they were transported belonged to a Ukrainian, who also drove them, he was what he said later to his neighbors: „What stupid boys, only two resuns (Eng. butchers) got beaten up!”.
