Fragment of the memoirs of Włodzimierz Michałuszko born in 1923 in Czerwona Wola:
„The new Polish authorities tried to force our men to join the ranks of the Polish Army, to which we did not agree. For those who did not respond, the police would come and take them to Sieniawa, where they abused them in an animal manner. One man was beaten to death there. At the beginning of 1945, policemen in our village caught a few young Ukrainians and escorted them to Sieniawa. On the way, they shot Ivan Meszka and Mykhailo Kril, who were probably trying to escape them”.

„After this rally [January 15, 1946, to the village of Zaradawa, GTKRK], the Polish Army group in the strength of 900 (not all 900 were alive, because some of them were driven away as dead [in the fight against the UPA]) departed towards Sieniawa.

Sieniawa
Excerpt from the interrogation protocol of Edmund Pikul from Wietrzno on May 8, 1946 by an employee of the SB‑OUN about the murder of a Ukrainian from Dobra by soldiers of the Polish Army:
„On April 24, 1946, the Polish Army came to Sieniawa, Jarosław Poviat, to deport the Ukrainians from villages in the Sieniawa region (in Sieniawa itself now there were no Ukrainians). I know that they were doing an action in the forest and when they returned from the forest they said that they did not find anyone. In Sieniawa, they caught a boy from Dobra (I don't know his name), who had Ukrainian personal documents, and shot him”.
