On the night of January 16–17, 1944, a group of OUN–UPA militia, numbering about 200 terrorists, carried out a terrible murderous attack on the Roman Catholic presbytery, Polish houses and farmsteads, on the defenseless families of Kościków, Pawłowski, Grodecki, Malaki, Głowacki, and Czapors., Grzesiowskich. The attackers, previously equipped with ropes and tow, entered the village with a large fleet of sleighs. They broke down and smashed the front doors of houses (according to the proscription list), led them out one by one, bound them with ropes, gagged them with tow, and then placed the victims on a sleigh. The action lasted until midnight, after which the Ukrainian terrorists with 27 abductees departed in an unknown direction. Part of the Polish population managed to save themselves. Thirteen people, together with the parish priest Bernard Pyclik, took refuge in the church attic, where for several months – despite the nagging cold – the parish priest stayed overnight. Głowacki took refuge in the attic of his own house, believing that the terrorists would only murder men, as they sometimes did. After the attackers left, Głowacki managed to get out through the hole in the straw roof. Wandering in his underwear and barefoot, he suffered frostbite on his legs, then ended up in the hospital in Czortków. Initially, he refused to eat, fearing poisoning. During an interrogation conducted by German Kripo and Gestapo officers, the hospitalized Głowacki testified that he recognized 13 local The Ukrainians among the attackers. A few days later, the news came from the nearby town of Jagielnica that on January 21, 1944, While hunting for wild game, German SS officers accidentally stumbled upon the corpses protruding from the snow and branches. The bodies of the murdered – adults and children – were covered with a thin layer of earth and covered with branches. With the participation of the German gendarmes and the criminal police, 26 naked bodies were discovered and taken from this fresh grave, placed in a clearing and identified. It was officially stated that the victims were stripped naked, tortured and tortured before being killed. The faces of the victims were massacred by cutting their noses and ears, slitting the neck, piercing the eyes, and choking them with ropes made of twisted yarn and soapy to tighten them faster and easier. The massacred body with the ropes around its necks was a terrifying sight. It has been officially stated that they died a violent and martyr's death: Bazyli Czapor, Kazimierz Czapor, Mikołaj Czapor, Bronisław Głowacki, Stefania Głowacka, Grodecka, Grodecki, Bronisław Grodecki, Kazimierz Grodecki, Teofil Grodecki, Petronela Hryk and her husband Wasyl Hryk, Aniela Kościk, Antoni Kościk, Ewa Kościk, Michalina Kościk, Michalina Kościk, Jan Malak, Maria Pawłowska, Leon Pawłowski, Mieczysław Pawłowski, Mikołaj Pawłowski, Olga Pawłowska, Zbigniew Pawłowski. In addition, two nuns from the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception (ss. Służebniczki Starowiejskie) were murdered: Anastazja Izmaela Bartosz and Amelia Witolda Borowska  […] These sisters ran a local orphanage with 28 children  […] and one of them was an organist  […] There was only a missing body named Jan. The evidence of the above crime and the identification process of the victims were officially documented by the German criminal police – Kripo on at least 10 photographic plates, which were seized by the Polish underground starost in Czortków, bearing the pseudonym Mohort, who was extremely meritorious in documenting the crimes of OUN–UPA terrorists on the Polish borderland population. Poles from Jagielnica donated coffins and on their own shoulders carried the bodies of the murdered out of the city, to the sleigh. The funeral of the victims, thanks to the efforts of the Polish population from the village of Słobódka Dżuryńska, where the priest was Fr Wacław Szetelnicki, took place in Połowce on January 24, 1944. About 800 people attended the funeral. Each victim was previously taken to her home, where she was washed and dressed, and then led in procession to the local church cemetery, to the mass grave prepared there, next to the existing grave of the victims murdered in July 1941  […] In connection with the crime in Połowce, on January 20, 1944, the German occupation authorities arrested two The Ukrainians – the teacher Yakowyszyn and the farmer Flisak, who lent horse–drawn cart perpetrators of the crime. A few days later – on January 24, 1944 – an arrested Ukrainian woman named Dumak from Połowce was brought to the Chortkiv prison. After the mass murder of Poles from the village of Połowce, on January 18, 1944, OUN–UPA terrorists spread a leaflet–message written in Ukrainian, which stated that „neutralized 31 Poles from the village of Połowce (including 20 men)” and similar projects „defensive” (quotation marks – AK) were also used in the village of Chomiakówka.
