When Ukrainian nationalism began to develop, Jan Michalewski was several years old. He did not remember it exactly, but he perfectly remembered his bloody symptoms: „Signals came to our village that in Jesionów – it was a commune village – two sons of the headmaster were murdered. They were returning from the station. Parents didn't get them. In the morning they were found beaten and dead. It was already known in our country in Hucisko that Ukrainian nationalism was beginning. The next case was the murder of Father Walczak, who was beaten by Ukrainian nationalists, thrown into a well and buried alive with stones]. He was buried in the cemetery in Huta Pieniacka. About three thousand people were walking behind the coffin, as they say, I don't remember exactly that, the procession was very long  […] Mum said that hardly anyone resisted, not to cry, when this coffin was taken off and put in the grave. The priest was helpful and friendly to all nationalities”. Jan Michalewski (born in 1938) was six years old on February 13, 1944. The Ukrainian attack completely destroyed his village, Hucisko Brodzkie. „Around noon, it was a Sunday, a massive shooting began and our house was confused. First, they put me with this cousin Janek in a chest, a closed one. And they themselves started supporting the door with such a drawbar that when they would break or shoot, they would not break down the door  […] We started screaming in this trunk. They opened that trunk and then someone said, «Get the kids and run». And my uncle took me and her son Janek under the arm, she helped us leave the house and we started running away towards Wołoch, it was a neighboring village, mixed, Polish–Ukrainian. You could already smell [of burning], you could hear the shots, there was a terrible confusion around us. And we were led through such a ravine, we became a group of people – about thirty or forty people – and through this ravine we reached the neighboring village. And there, I remember, straw was laid. And I remember that in the evening they brought my father unconscious, he was bloodied on the left side, and they put my father in the corner of that apartment on straw. And my father only moaned about every half hour: «Finish me off». Mom cried and wet his lips. And we were kneeling with this great–uncle Janek and saying our prayers  […] I wanted to see Brother Tadeusz, it was the day after the attack. I had to cry hard that my grandfather was saying: «Then come on, I'll show you». And this image is very clear in my eyes. My brother was lying on one, in the Borderlands it was said: you were, and it was a checked blanket. Grandpa pulled back the blanket and I saw where the bullet entered the head above the cheek, and here [points to the temple] there was a mark, as if someone had cut the knife with a knife – where the bullet had entered. And he wouldn't show me the other side, unwrap the other side completely. The head was supposed to be shattered there. After this inspection, he wrapped the body up and put it in such a box. I remember, he threw the rifle, took that box under his arm and went to the cemetery to bury the dead”.
