Radawa
Polish translation of Mychajła Bochna's information about the murder of Ukrainians in the village of Radawa, included in the collection „Jarosław and Beyond the Sun river regions” from 1986:
„In mid–July 1944, the front moved west through our neighborhood, without fighting […] Less more after a month, the Polish administration began to be created, starting with the militia […] The Polish administration was getting stronger and more and more took its toll. It began with the arrests of more aware Ukrainians, those who were active during the German era, including young people. He was in prison and the author of these memoirs. The arrests were largely accidental. The real hell began in the early spring of 1945, when, apart from the militia or in partnership with them, various Polish gangs started to loot and rob and kill random people.
[…] The sick Billy (nickname Cujka) was murdered in Radawa. Werbicki was killed on the bridge and thrown into the water, and the little boy Cienki was killed in the pasture. The Home Army killed Aniela Bila and Wołodymyr Szegda, Petr Bochna, who was returning from the shop, identified a Pole on the way, and when he said it was a Ukrainian, he shot him in the face and ran away on a bicycle. The wounded man dragged himself to the village and was somehow saved here. Such events were commonplace in all villages of Jarosławszczyzna. Inhabitants of villages lying in unforested areas, such as Manasterz or Leżachów, had to move to a wooded area, taking cattle and everything that could be taken”.
