Excerpt from the report of the interrogation of Volodymyr Gałan from Wiązownica on May 6, 1946 by an OUN SB employee about the murder of the Ukrainians of Surochów by gang from the Polish village of Wiązownica:
Płonka Henryk, a Pole belonging to the Polish terrorist group 'Radwan', who murdered the Ukrainian population in the Jarosław poviat, and who was sitting with me in a prison in Jarosław in April 1946, told me that while still in this unit he took a Ukrainian priest from the village of Surochów with his wife and son. He said that they were shot in the village of Piwoda in the district and all three were buried behind the barn of the Polish farmer Żołyniak”.

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 strenght attacked Surochów. On this tragic Sunday, Fr Mykhailo Płachta held a service in the local church. The bandits burst into the church, made a scream, interrupted the service, took the priest from the altar. They also arrested the priest's wife and son Jurek. After being bound with barbed wire, they first severely beat the arrested people, then led them for interrogation to the village of Piwoda, where they again abused them terribly. Then they rushed everyone to Szówsko and there, having stripped everyone naked, publicly raped Fr Płachta's wife, finally they shot them all”.
