[The Ukrainians] murdered 4 Poles, including a woman in advanced pregnancy and her 4‑year‑old son. „From the stories told by witnesses, I learned that the Bandera followers tortured my father: they roasted him with a hot iron, put him into a hot bread oven, cut off his ears and tongue, and after murdering the corpse, they threw the body into a deep well, next to an old, uninhabited forester's lodge between the village and the forest in towards the village of Byczkowice. He was 40 when he died”.

[The Ukrainians] murdered 25 Poles. Witness Tomasz Bandura claims that the attack took place on the night of March 8—9, 1945. „On March 7, 1945 in the afternoon from the direction of Kalinowski forest to our village of Skorodyńce came a large unit of the so—called UPA. They were dressed in various uniforms, German, Soviet, and civilian. They had several heavy machine guns and ammunition on the carts. They stayed in our village. They put the horses in stables, barns, and their people in all houses. They were coming from midnight. They told themselves to prepare food. at the same time, everyone was forbidden to leave their homes under the threat of death. around midnight, at the sound of the trumpet, everyone prepared to leave, after half an hour they were gone.
As I found out later, it was a so—called sotnya UPA, which moved east to the Bieszczady Mountains. The next day, March 8, 1945, also in the afternoon, a unit of the Red army entered our village in pursuit of this band of Banderites. The army searched some farmsteads. after a short time, the commander of this unit demanded a cart from the village leader. Sołtys adamek organized the rides which the Red army soldiers intended to follow in pursuit of the Banderites. There were almost no men in our village. Poles and The Ukrainians were drafted into the army, but a significant part of the Ukrainians fled to the forest and joined the UPA gangs. In our house, my father and brother—in—law were in the army at the front. My mother had to take a cart driving, as did many other women from individual farms. My mother said goodbye to us and warned us not to stay at home, but only with our Ukrainian friends. The three of us stayed at home, me, Tomasz Bandura, my sister Franciszka, 22, with my two‑year‑old daughter. We were supposed to go to Czortków that day. The necessary things were already prepared. Taking our mother and our horse with a cart thwarted our plans. My sister and I both began to wonder where to go for the night. Fearing for their lives, several of our Ukrainian neighbors refused to stay at the house. They were threatened with death at the hands of the Bandera followers. We decided to take shelter in a stable or in a barn with a Ukrainian neighbor, but without his knowledge. We have not yet finished the preparations for the departure, when some Ukrainian women came to us: Katarzyna from «Kamiństrong» with her 11‑year‑old son / her older son was in the UPA / and with her sister to spend the night because the Soviets could come back and take them to Siberia. We did not refuse them. My sister made a bed for them in the other room. around midnight someone started knocking on our apartment and shouted in Russian: «adkroj». We thought they were Soviet soldiers. The sister turned on the lamp and went to open the door. a tall man in a Soviet uniform, but with a trisub on his cap, entered the apartment. He looked at us and left. after a while three armed bandits came in and one of them said: «Who is a stranger here, let» get dressed and leave, while the other pointed the machine towards us. One of the Ukrainian women staying with us came to me and said «Iwasiu / my name is Tomasz / get dressed. We're going home». I was numb with fear. I don't remember how quickly I got dressed and went out with her. I only remember the look of my sister who, as I recall today, was saying that we would not meet again. Katarzyna took me to her apartment, told me to take off my shoes and hide behind the stove. She herself sat down on the edge of this furnace, covering me with her body. at that time, the Bandera followers held a drunken feast in the other room of her apartment, played and sang until the morning hours. at night, Volodymyr, Katarzyna's son, came and, shining a flashlight, asked his mother «De je Tomko» / where is Tomek /. His mother replied that he was not here, that when she went out into the yard with him, he fled somewhere in the countryside. It was obvious that he believed her because he had left the house. The next day, early in the morning, I ran to my house. It was on March 9, 1945. My sister Franciszka was lying in a pool of blood on the floor of the room. Her baby lay with her fist under her head as if asleep. I picked them up — blood poured onto my hands. It was dead. That day, before noon, my mother returned from the so—called submarines. I can't say how she felt when she saw her daughter and granddaughter dead. She was petrified. That night the Banderites murdered many more other Poles. I remember such names as: Karol Domyka — an invalid, the family of five Franciszek Bandura, whose daughter married a Ukrainian, anne Szatkowska pregnant and her son (12 years old). My mother and I took a loaf of bread, some flour and other things and with a little crowd we went to Chortkiv. We chose the shore of the Seret for our way. We were walking with the thought that if we were being chased by the Bandera followers, we would both jump into the river and drown in order not to get into their hands alive. We happily reached Czortków, from where we left for the west on May 30, 1945”.
