Rumno

The Ukrainians from the OUN–UPA from neighboring villages robbed and burned Polish farms and, using axes, knives and bayonets, murdered 40 Poles and 1 Jew. „Drapała Zofia, 25, tortured, her tongue and breasts were cut off. The same was true of Wandycz Anna, 23. Wandycz Zofia, 25, had her breasts massacred. Maria Wandycz, 9 years old, cut out the heart and put it next to the body. Józef's plate, 21 years old, shot, doused with gasoline and burned alive. Puńczyszyn Maria, 6 years old, ripped her belly with a knife and died in agony. Kasprzyczak Katarzyna, 30 years old, hacked with an ax. Kasprzyczak Antoni, 2 years old, Katarzyna's son, his head was smashed with the head of the ax. Dżugaj Maria, 57 years old, stunned by an ax and thrown into the fire, burned alive”.

[The Ukrainians] lay in a circle, trampled by horse hooves, bloody and muddy, massacred. They were: Katarzyna Wandycz, my aunt, with a massacred face, a cut–out tongue hanging from her mouth, a bloodied head; Marysia Wandycz, her daughter, had a large hole in her breast, and a heart was torn out of her breast next to it. Anna Wandycz, second daughter (23 years old), head split in half, pieces of bleached brain splattered and a lot of blood all over her body; then the daughter, Zofia Drapała née Wandycz, had very mutilated breasts and holes in her belly. Michał Wandycz, 2 years older than me, had a crushed head with two holes in his temples.

Marysia (4 years old) with a ripped belly – for several hours she summoned the help of her mother, who was already dead, two‑year‑old Antoś, bayonet stabbed to bed, dying, whimpering like a swallow chick. While standing, we cried with the others.

The news reached the Poles that the command center of the UPA of the local Bandera organization was a local Greek Catholic church. The Ukrainian Pope's sermons were clearly anti–Polish. He called: „it's time to deal with the Poles. It's time to take axes in your hands and cut down all those who are enemies of self–contained Ukraine!”. The words of the Ukrainian pop found fertile ground, which was mainly Ukrainian youth.

According to the report, our Delegation in Komarno on June 3 this year. a Ukrainian terrorist gang attacked the group of Rumno [Rudki], burned 60 Polish farms, murdered 27 people and injured 11 people. The entire Polish population of the Rumno cluster fled and moved to the nearby Polish community of Chłopy.
