Smolarnia

The UPA massacred most of the families in this Polish colony. „The attack on our village took place in the second half of August 1943. The Ukrainians took part in the pogrom and murdered almost all the Poles who were still in Smolarnia. In our village died then: my mother antonina, approx. 60, and father Stanisław, approx. 65, Sidorowicze. My brother–in–law, Skawiński, Bronisław, approx. 40, and his wife Ludwika Skawińska née Sidorowicz, approx. 35, and their eight children, including: adam approx. 12, Mieczysław approx. 10, antoni approx. 6, Jerzy approx. 5 and daughters: Stanisława, approx. 18, Izabela, approx. 16, Maria, approx. 7 and aniela, approx. 3. My sister–in–law, Marianna Sidorowicz, approx. 35, and her two daughters: Regina, approx. 10 and Leokadia, around 6 years old, a Pole, Jan Gawroński, who also lived in Smolarnia, told us after the war, that two The Ukrainians came to his house just before the murder: Władysław Radzik and Marczuk Piotr. They knew Janek well, they were even friends, so they came to his house and told them this: «Get together and run away, because the Ukrainians will beat you up, because they had beaten the Skawiński, Sidorowicz, Sawicki and Puchniacz families in Smolarnia. and they will kill you too!» Janek Gawroński lived in Smolarnia only 3 houses from our house. Later, these The Ukrainians ordered them to gather and escorted them towards Włodzimierz, beyond the Ukrainian village of Poniczów”.
Mr. Kazimierz: „A Ukrainian friend, Sabina Błaszczak, told us how my closest Skawiński family died, she said: «My full sister, the wife of Michał Marczuk, who lived in Smolarnia, told me how the family of your brother–in–law Skawiński died. Marczukowa was going to the Skawiński house after the slaughter to see the bodies of murdered Poles, what she saw there in the daylight shocked her deeply: Bronisław Skawiński had his elbows cut off and legs in the knees, his daughter Staszka was cut in half with a saw, and other people were left chopped up with axes». She also said: «The robbery happened in mid–august, after harvest, at night. Bronek has already finished the harvest. The Ukrainians first led everyone out of the house and then murdered them all in the yard»”  […]
Mr. Kazimierz: „Franciszek Krawiec, son–in–law of the Malec family, told me in August 1943 in Włodzimierz Wołyński how grandmother Perekupek and his mother–in–law, Malec, died. It was like this, he said: «During the attack on Smolarnia, the Ukrainians came to the house of the Malec family and took both women with them to the barn. There they probably murdered them, and then, by setting the barn on fire, they also burned the bodies. The next day, local people found two charred bodies of women, the nearby neighbors of the murdered women saw it in person and told Franciszek Krawiec»”.
Mr. Kazimierz: „Mrs. Marczuk, the wife of a Ukrainian, Michał Marczuk, saw with her own eyes how Poles were murdered in Smolarnia and she told Sabina everything about it. She said that many Poles fled from the east to Włodzimierz, through our village of Smolarnia, and then they fell into the hands of the Ukrainians, who prepared a masked ambush in our village. Then the captured people were murdered and thrown into one well, which was located in the yard of Piotr Szaluś Polak from Smolarnia. This well was 25 m deep, wells were dug at least this deep. Each concrete was one meter high, and usually 25 such concretes were needed. The Ukrainian woman saw with her own eyes that the well was filled with the bodies of the murdered people to such an extent that you could see the legs sticking out above the first concrete. after the war, Szaluś settled in Siedliska near Zamość”.
Mr. Kazimierz: „Mieczysław Pilczuk, an inhabitant of Siedliska, told me in our village in April 2003 that he saw a well in Volhynia, full of children murdered by the Ukrainians during bloody events!”.
