Excerpt from the memoirs of Ivan Andrijowycz Zalaski, born in in 1917 in Tymce about the murder of 33 Ukrainians from the Podemszczyzna by members of the Citizens' Militia:
„In the fall of 1944, after the Soviets had come to our lands, Poles returned from across the San. The Soviet army went to the West, and Polish authorities began to form, Polish militia posts in the nearby villages of Basznia Dolna and Puhacze. The policemen arrested Ukrainians and abused them […] One Sunday in September, after lunch, Poles surrounded the Podemszczyzna, lit a wooden church (people managed to save only some of them). They were going to the countryside and picking up Ukrainians, men. They managed to catch 33 people. In the evening they took everyone through the hamlet Puhacze to Horyniec. They dropped them off in front of the forest and shot them all. It happened not far from the villages of Puhacze, Krzywe, Tymce”.
