Excerpt from the report of the interrogation of Mieczysław Pięta by the investigating officer of the WUBP in Rzeszów regarding his participation in the murder of AK members against 3 Ukrainians:
„In 1945, in a month I do not remember, in the winter time, I took part in the Blizianka group in the kidnapping of three men from Blizianka by order 'Dęba', surname Robczak, I do not know the name of the resident of Tyczyn. A group of about 15 people went to the Blizianka group. After a collection in a great forest in the Rzeszów poviat, I received a weapon from 'Kotwica', an English machine from 'Sten'. After coming to Blizianka, the group split into three groups. The first group was me, headed by 'Lupine', I don't know the surname, Rzeszów poviat living in Straszydiel. Then we went to the home of a citizen I do not know, Ukrainian nationality. 'Lupin' and Błoński (I do not know the pseudonym) entered the apartment, Rzeszów poviat living in Budziwoj. They led an unknown man out of the apartment, and then we went to the Sołonka forest, Rzeszów poviat, where all the groups who brought two more men, including two more horses and a pig, were divided among everyone, I received a horse. At that time, I handed over the gun of 'Anchor' and we went home, except for 'Dąb' and a group [from] the Scarecrow, who stayed in the forest with these three men who were probably shot in that forest”.

Fragment of the report of the interrogation of the witness Rozalia Lewczak by the militia MO officer in Niebylec about the murder of her son, a Ukrainian, Stefan Lewczak, by members of the Home Army:
„On March 10, 1945, at around 9 PM, about 15 people unknown to me came to my apartment. Entering the apartment, they asked my son Stefan what his name was. He replied that Lewczak Stefan. They then said to him,
— «Give me the gun you have!».
The son replied that there was no gun, they took his son to the hall and told him to dress the horse. When he dressed his horses, he led them out onto the field, one of the bandits was standing with a weapon next to him so that he would not run away. They put me in a room near the stove. One, standing next to me, did not allow me to look anywhere, only one way. The other bandits, operating around the house, took all our clothes and shoes, they also took my horse and my son Stefan with them, and they locked me and my husband in the basement so that we would not see where they would go after they left. After my son Stefan Lewczak was taken by the bandits, he did not return home. He was probably killed in the Sołonka forest, where the perpetrators went”.
