On Saturday, February 19, 1944, Ukrainian terrorists also attacked the village of Sosnów in the rural commune of Siemikowiec, Pidhaitsi county, namely the colony of that village. Here they surrounded Czarnecki's house, which, however, was closed because the attack took place at night. The terrorists started throwing hand grenades through the hole they had broken in the tin roof, from which the farmer Czarnecki Franciszek, 60, died in the attic, whose family was staying elsewhere. Czarnecki's daughter, Bronisław, was hidden under bags of sugar at the critical time. The attackers kidnapped the sugar, but Czarnecka managed to escape to the yard and hid in the dog's kennel and survived there. The beekeeper, mentioned Czarnecki, also died Woźny Emil, 21, a farmer by profession, who was hiding at his uncle's house at a critical time. After these feats the attackers went to the brother of the late Czarnecki, a farmer by profession, whom they burned alive along with his house and farm buildings. Grodzki Zbigniew, a farmer by profession, about 24 years old, burned with them. On the same day, the same perpetrators went to the farmer of Lotte in the colony, whom he and his wife had injured with fragments of a hand grenade. These murders lasted from 10 pm to 2 am.
