In the Stadnica –Zofiówka (Stud) colony, county Kopyczyńce, the Banderites murdered the Poles and burnt the village. „In the interwar period, in the fields near the village of Kluwińce, commune Chorostków, a Polish colony was established, which was called the Stud, about 7 km from our house in the village of Chłopówka, commune Chorostków, area Kopyczyńce, voivodeship Tarnopolskie. The owner of this land, the heir, whose manor house was located in the village of Podhajczyki, sold the land that had been bought by colonists from Poland, called in our part Masuria. The colony was Polish and small, with only 20 numbers. During the parceling out of the land, my uncle Piotr Wójtaszyn, who was a Ukrainian and the brother of my mother Tekla Nowak née Wójtaszyn, also bought himself a plot and 3 hectares of land. Thus, also The Ukrainians could freely buy land. Uncle Piotr built a house there for himself and he had a lot of bee hives, so he often sold honey. It was the winter of 1945, it was a very hard winter, heavy snow. Somewhere in February or March 1945, in the early hours, it was just getting light outside, my uncle Piotr Wójtaszyn came to our house in Chłopówka and brought with him a cold, barely alive baby, which was only 1.5 years old. It was the child of his Polish son–in–law, Jan Dobrowolski, and his eldest daughter Józefa née Wójtaszyn. We realized that something must have happened wrong, and he sat down in the kitchen and said: «Teklusia look (here he opened the suitcase) this is all my property, this is what I have left!». Then he started to cry and tell what had just happened in their village, he said this: «Teklusi, a great misfortune happened, this early morning, around 3 am, It was still dark outside, Ukrainians, former Bandera followers, came to our colony on a sleigh and announced that they were taking everyone to Sielrada for the census. all the inhabitants of our colony: children, women, men and the elderly, got on the sleigh, and then they all left together. also, a sleigh and about eight people arrived in front of my house and at first they killed our two large wolfhounds, and then they ordered everyone to go to Sielrada. I heard everything exactly because at that time I was sitting under the floor with Jan Dobrowolski, my son–in–law and little grandson Kazimierz. I built a spacious and comfortable shelter under the floor, where our large family often hid. That night, because it was quite quiet, the women and the children had already come upstairs to the right room, to prepare breakfast and clean up the farm. Only we have not left the shelter yet, as the men who were either murdered treacherously or taken by force to join the Bandera partisans were in danger. after some time, when everyone had already left, my son–in–law smelled smoke and we realized that someone had set fire to our colony. The smoke grew harder and harder to bear, and we literally suffocated. In this situation, we decided that there was no time to waste and immediately went outside. Our house and our barn were already on fire, in fact the whole town, it was one big fire, everything was on fire. The Banderites took almost nothing from their homes, perhaps because it was a rather poor village, and they let the livestock out so that they walked loosely. I took my horse and sleigh and I came to you as soon as I could!». at that time, the Soviet army was standing in our country. a friendly Soviet officer, at my request, obtained a disguise and a gun for Uncle Piotr. after the day this happened, my uncle Piotr and several other men traveled to this colony for the first night to look for traces of their loved ones. Later, my uncle told us his fate, his families: «Luckily for us, it wasn't snowing all day and at night, so the traces of the sleigh were perfectly preserved. It was with this trail that we came to the place where there was a well–known and deep well in the fields. It was a very deep well with very healthy water, so I used it personally and there I used to drink my cattle in peacetime. With horror in our hearts, we noticed that the footprints led straight to this famous well, around which there was a lot of blood! We immediately approached her and started shouting loudly for any living people, to our surprise and joy the young boy's voice spoke. It was Włodzimierz, or Józef Wójtaszyn, because when my uncle called, the boy started shouting like this: ‹Dad, save us, our hands are tied with wires and we cannot leave alone. Mom is dead now because the water is already rising. Harrows, plows and plates from the Jewish cemetery are thrown over us. I am still alive because I tried to escape at the well, but the torturers caught me and threw me into the well as one of the last ones, right on top!›. at first, a few voices were heard from the well, they shouted: ‹Help! Save us!›, you could hear the conversation of the living, still people. We tried all night to come to their aid and get them out of there in various ways, but we couldn't cope with the Jewish records which were quite heavy». There was a Jewish cemetery nearby, in a field near the town of Grzymałów (in the Husiatyński region), this is where the slabs probably came from. I knew this town personally because I lived in it before the war, for almost 6 years, when our father, Michał Nowak, worked hard in the local estate. I also attended the first, second and third school years there. Meanwhile, the situation of these people downstairs became more and more dramatic with each passing hour. as the men were not able to help on their own, the ones downstairs in the well, they hurried back home for heavier and appropriate equipment. But for the day they were forced to wait, for they feared an attack by the rezunas in broad daylight. as soon as darkness fell, they went back to the place of the tragedy, but when they arrived, the water poured out from the well to the field, carrying with it a lot of blood of the victims drowned in the well. all those who were still alive drowned, my uncle Piotr and the others returned to their homes crying. I know this story very well, because whenever my uncle told about it, he always cried bitterly, and maybe that's why I remember it so well. Besides, I experienced it very much with them because these days, I was at home and I saw and heard all the conversations in person, and I was already 22 years old then. From our family during this massacre, the following people died: Hanna Wójtaszyn, wife of Uncle Piotr, Józef Dobrowolska née Wójtaszyn, wife of Jan, approx. 20, Eugenia Wójtaszyn, approx. 16, Józef Wójtaszyn approx. 14 years old, Władysław Wójtaszyn approx. 12 years old and the youngest of the children of Wojtek Piotr and Hanna approx. 3 years old. Uncle Piotr Wójtaszyn left for Lower Silesia after the war with other repatriates from our parts. He married another wife, Hanna, but had no more children of his own. They both passed away to eternity, leaving no offspring, and are most likely buried in the town of Ujazd Górny in Lower Silesia. [Fragment of the memoirs of Julia Marut née Nowak from the village of Chłopówka near Chorostków in the Tarnopol Region, listened to, written and edited by ST Roch] PS To this day, in this place, where in a deep well lies the innocent inhabitants of the Stadnia colony (approx. over 100 people), victims of genocide, probably not even the simplest cross stood, at least I don't know anything about it”.

: The Ukrainians murdered 20 Poles. The same unit of approximately 100 people of the UPA committed a crime in Hleszczawa the day before. Around 2 a.m., he went to Stadnica, where he searched the houses for 12 hours, and 20 Poles were caught. Most of these people were hacked with axes and their bodies were thrown into wells, which were covered with stones. At 2 p.m. the unit departed towards the village of Peremiłów, kidnapping several people, who were also killed later. During these two days, the UPA killed 56 or 57 people from Hleszczawa and Stadnica. On February 12, 1945, an NKVD operational group arrived in Stadnica, which extracted 15 bodies from the well. In the course of the investigation, the NKVD established that the crime was led by the local provincial leader Stepan Sameć from Hleszczawa. The victims extracted from the wells in Stadnica were buried in a mass grave in the cemetery in Hleszczawa.
On February 12, 1945, the Bandera followers murdered 25 Poles. Others: On February 8, 1945, an approximately 100–strong UPA unit, according to the Soviet investigation, abducted from Hleszczawa and killed 36–37 Poles. Then, at 2 o'clock on February 9, the unit moved to Stadnica, where it stayed for 12 hours. At that time, houses were searched in the chutor, as a result of which 20 Poles were captured. Most of these people were hacked with axes and their bodies were thrown into wells, which were covered with stones. An eyewitness to the crime was a Polish woman who was hidden in the attic of one of the houses. At 2 p.m. the unit departed towards the village of Peremiłów, kidnapping several people, who were also killed later. During these two days, the UPA killed 56 or 57 people from Hleszczawa and Stadnica, according to various sources.
