Excerpt from the report of the interrogation of Bronisław Chodania from Czerc on May 29, 1946 by an employee of the SB‑OUN about the murder of the Ukrainians from Surochów by militiamen of the MO post of the Republic of Poland in Sieniawa:
„I know that in March 1945 the Civic Militia MO from Sieniawa and the auxiliary militia from Czerce burnt down the village of Dobcza, Jarosław district. The entire militia in Sieniawa region was taken over by the commanders of Polish terrorist bands — 'Radwan' and 'Mewa', and took part in all actions against the Ukrainian population. I know about one such action, when during the Ukrainian Easter itself, the entire militia from Sieniawa, Dybków, Czerce and Czerwona Wola took part in the attack on the Ukrainian village of Surochów, Jarosław district. This action was carried out by 'Radwan', and civilian Poles also participated: Stroch Stanisław from the village of Czerce, who has now moved to the west, and others. About 40 men from Sieniawa participated in this action in Surochów. The commandant in Sieniawa was Weaver Bronisław, and the deputy was Król Mieczysław. I know they left in the morning at the sunrise, came back in the evening, also bringing some horses with them. Król Mieczysław took part in the action in a military blouse with the lieutenant's badges and that was how he was called during the action. My brother, who also participated in this action, said that they killed a few women near the church in Surochów and took a Ukrainian priest. The Banderites who shot back interrupted the action. At that time, a terrorist action was also carried out in the village of Koniaczów”.

Polish translation of information by Michał Szkilnyk about the murder of Ukrainians in the village of Surochów, included in the collection „Jarosław and Beyond the Sun river regions” from 1986:
„On September 15, 1945, Polish bands of great power attacked Surochów  […] The second group from the same gang caught a dozen or so girls near the church, brought them to the farm, stripped them naked and made fun of them. When Iwan Kordiak stood up for the girls, one of the Polish bandits shot him. During the raids by Polish bands on Surochów, the following died: Wasyl Koński, Stefan Dul, Ołeksa Wancak, Paraskewia Cichowlas, the brother of the parish priest Wołodymyr Płachta, Wasyl Ośmak, Mychajło Gełeta, Wasyl Żinczak, Nastia Kułyk, Mychajło Kuń, Anna Fedan, Stefan Kuszpyra, Dmytro Dubniak, Ołeksa Romaneć, Roman Hołoweńka and others”.

Fragment of the memoirs of Ivan Ubogi, born in 1923 in Surochów:
„In 1945, one Sunday, the Poles attacked the village of Surochów. At that time, a UPA unit was staying with us, and they chased this gang together with the boys from the village. One of the UPA was wounded and started to flee. One of his friends ran after him, wanting to take his gun, but a wounded Pole, hidden behind a tree, managed to kill him, but then this Pole also died. The killed UPA soldier was Łobuz from Sobiecin.
His brother was caught by Poles near Wietlin, brought to Surochów and interrogated by the farmer, Ivan Kendzierski. They brought his Polish wife there and asked her what to do with him. She told them to do what they wanted. Then they put him barefoot on the burning kitchen. They burnt his legs, and then they led him outside the barn and killed  […]
One time, before deportation to Ukraine, boys from the UPA were with us. One of them was Stepan Borys, born in 1925 in Sobiecin, pseudonym 'Neczaj'. This very brave partisan was killed in the neighboring village of Wietlin. The second was Ołeksa Hur, who hid on a pear tree and shot from there so that the Poles were forced to retreat. Then the Poles killed 17 Ukrainians in the village”.

Fragment of an interview with Maria Kostenko (maiden name Borys), b. in 1924 in Sobiecin:
„—«Then, during the raids, Paweł and Stepan Stolar were shot in Surochów»  […]
—«Where were both Stolars buried?»
—«I don't know, then, when we were in the church and left, our priest Płachta was arrested. He had a wife and a boy, somewhere between 8 and 9 years old Jurek. He came back from prison with long hair and a beard. And then two [Greek Catholic] priests fled to us of Jarosław. They came to us at night, in shirts [only]. And they stayed in Surochów with Płachta. One of them went to celebrate Mass in Wietlin, where a local priest fainted. And the second one, after the mass at the church in Surochów, went to the toilet. At that time, our priest was at home. He was taken… Because we haven't returned home yet, when the bells rang all over the village. Apparently, the attack was supposed to take place while the people were in the church, but the attackers were a little late. Then a boy from Surochów was killed on his way from the church, a woman who [happened to] chase geese from the pond in the middle of the village… I do not know how many people were killed then, but they were not even buried in the village cemetery, because it was on the edge of the village, and they were buried near the church in Surochów»”.

10 soldiers of the Polish Army were killed in the fight against the UPA. Others: On the night of November 22, the M–2 sotnya, under the personal command of „Zalizniak”, struck the railway bridge over the Glass River in Surochów. Two chats attacked the bridge (the first one on the right and the second one on the left bank), and the third one tied up the Polish Army troops stationed in a battalion in a nearby farm. The signal for action was the „explosion of the” torpedo. After three hours, the UPA blew up the bridge (600 kg of explosives were used for this purpose) and withdrew. The Polish Army had two killed and eleven wounded, and the UPA had three killed.
