In 1943, my parents – Jan and Zofia Kraszewski, and my brothers: Jerzy – 12 years old, Tadeusz – 7 years old and I – 9 years old, lived in the Stanisławów colony, 20 km from Włodzimierz Wołyński, Werba commune […] On August 16, 1943, around At 2 p.m., when cousin Roman left to reconnoiter the situation, we noticed eight The Ukrainians approaching us from our farm. The oldest Ukrainian, well–armed, approached my father and said that we should go home, because we are safe and there is no reason to run away. He also asked where his cousin Roman was, as he wanted to question him and his parents, and asked his father to go with him deep into the forest. My father agreed and they walked away so that you couldn't see them or hear their conversation. After a few minutes, he came back and took my mother. As we stood there in great fear surrounded by the remaining seven bandits, suddenly we heard our mother scream „Oh, heart!”. Then we slowly started to walk away, because for a moment these seven bandits became interested in the contents of the car. At that moment, a Ukrainian came running, who led his parents out and started shouting why they were not doing us well. Mrs Olobra's neighbor knelt down in front of the Ukrainian and begged him for mercy to leave her alone, to which the commander pierced her with a bayonet fixed on a rifle, murdering her in front of our eyes. Then we started running towards our forest and the cattle left there. The youngest brother Tadeusz escaped the slowest, and a few bandits ran after him and so he reached the sheep and hid behind a grazing ram. Aries, seeing a man running towards him, sped up and with all his force hit the bandit, who fell over, and when he wanted to hit him a second time, the bandit got up and shot the ram. Meanwhile, brother Tadeusz escaped into the bushes and this is how the life of the 7‑year‑old child was saved. Me and my older brother escaped into thickets and bushes. As it turned out, my mother, although very wounded and with a bayonet, managed to escape from the scene of the murder being in shock. The bandit, when he led her out into the bushes, ordered her to take off her dress, because it was woolen, and then hit her on the head with a buttstock, and when she covered herself with her hand, he injured her arm with a bayonet, and then injured her chest twice. Then my mother gave that fateful shout. „Oh, heart!”, which […] saved us. Meanwhile, the bandit decided that my mother would die there, took the dress and ran to the cart […] . Mum couldn't believe for a long time that our daddy was dead, even when cousin Roman came to Włodzimierz and said that after the sounds of the shots he went to our stopping place late in the evening and nearby, in the bushes behind the trees, he stumbled over the body of our daddy, which he covered with branches. And that's the funeral our father had.
