Jarosław Walkiewicz: „On the same day as the inhabitants of Stary Gaj, Poles living in the adjacent village of Sucha Łoza were murdered. The slaughter survived, among others the girl Bronisława Glove, cousin of my father Edward Walkiewicz. She ran away from home across the field with her brother Janek (11), the Ukrainians were shooting at them. They hung up and hid in sheaves of grain in the field. Her father Józef Rękik and her mother escaped separately with her second son, Wiesław (9 years old). They, too, hid in bundles. At night, Wiesio and Janek themselves returned home and hid in the attic, and their parents, not knowing it, looked for them in the field and in the vicinity. These children were later found by the Ukrainians. Janek was shot and Wiesio shot in his left arm and wounded, buried alive near the house. The parents survived. Bronisława Glove was found in the field by two Ukrainians; a Ukrainian, a Pole's wife, took care of the raped, exhausted and abandoned in the field, and informed her parents. Her father took her to Kowel, from there, in 1944, they fled to Chełm, and later to Deputycze and Marysin. She died in 2001”.
