Soroki

The Banderites murdered 33 Poles, including: the 8–person Kozdrowski family with 6 children (the eldest daughter was 20), the 6–person Czarniecki family with 4 children, the 5–person Podolski family with 3 children (an infant boy and daughters aged 7 and 15), A family of 4 (mother, infant, daughter 14 and son 15) – most of the victims were slaughtered with axes. „On the night of March 24–25, 1944, several Ukrainian rezunas forced their way into our home. One of them hacked my five‑year‑old daughter Aniela with an ax, split her head completely open. The torturers ordered me and my husband, Michał, to lie down on the floor and fired a few rifle shots at us. The husband died from the first bullet, but the murderers stabbed him a few more times with a bayonet. I received two bursting bullets that night. I lost consciousness. The attackers, judging that I'm dead they left me alone. After some time I regained my senses and crawled to my Ukrainian neighbor, Dmitri Krzyżanowski. I found refuge there, but on the next day the Bandera followers found me and tried to murder me again. I received three shots from a pistol and was bayoneted twice in the area of the right shoulder blade. I received the shots in the face and I have traces of them to this day. The murderers, believing that I was already dead, left me unconscious at a neighbor's. From there, I was taken to see my husband's sister, Anna Kluski. My husband's friend, Genowef Miearańak, informed the unit of Hungarian soldiers stationed a few kilometers and who had come to the village about the attack. Their commander looked after me. My wounds were tended to”.
