The aforementioned men were taken because four Poles from the forestry were lost in the forest between Lubliniec Stary and Ruda Różaniecka”.

Ruda Różaniecka
On October 9, 1944, on the dikes near the hamlet of Nowy Lubliniec – Ostrówka, commander of the third swarm of self–defense in Lubliniec, pseudonym „Sasza” [ie a member of the so–called The Ukrainian National Self–Defense UNS, which is an armed formation of the genocidal OUN organization, GTKRK] attacked a forester and three gamekeepers from Ruda Różaniecka, who went there to detect and punish the perpetrators of illegal logging. Three of them were kidnapped, and one managed to escape and inform the MO station in Ruda Różaniecka about the whole incident. There is no trace of the abductees. The inhabitants of Ruda accused the Ukrainians from Lubliniec Nowe of the attack.
As a result of a retaliatory action carried out by the militia from the posts in Ruda Różaniecka, Cieszanów and Folwark, following the principle of collective responsibility, 35 hostages were kidnapped from Lubliniec Nowe. Soon two people, including priest Kozenka, were released so that he could give the villagers an ultimatum. The condition of the ultimatum was the return of the abducted foresters before the end of the day. Otherwise, all the remaining hostages were threatened to be shot (one of the hostages was killed while trying to escape near the ponds). The remaining The Ukrainians were detained at the MO station in Ruda Różaniecka. After the deadline for the ultimatum had expired and the condition was not met, all hostages were shot on October 10, 1944.
The murdered were buried nearby in old trenches, after some time the bodies were dug out and moved to another, unknown place. The bodies have not been found to date. The symbolic grave of the murdered is located at the Greek Catholic cemetery in Lubliniec.
