My aunts, Maria and Kazimiera Górska and grandmother Józef Górska were born in the village of Tuczna, Przemyślany county, province. Tarnopolskie. It was a village with a mixed Polish–Ukrainian population  […] The last attack on Tuczne, which the sisters remember, took place around April 20, 1944 during the day, around 2:00 pm. The Ukrainians surrounded the village and started setting it on fire. Dad, who usually escaped to the fields, had to take refuge elsewhere this time, because the village was already surrounded and it was impossible to get through. He hid in the barn. He was sure they would not set it on fire because it was standing near Ukrainian buildings. The sisters' grandmother was shot in front of the house. Then they came home for mom. They dragged her outside the house, together with their daughter Marysia, who was hanging around her neck. At the sight of so many armed people waiting in the yard, Out of fear, Marysia released her mother and started to run away. As she ran towards the neighbors' shed, she heard two shots. Mom was about 28 when she was shot. Aunt Marysia hid under the wagon in the shed of her aunt who married a Ukrainian. Hidden there, she saw her dad running out of the barn while smoking. My mother's siblings, 35‑year‑old Marcin and 18‑year‑old Marysia, who live near the girls' house, were also murdered. The Ukrainians took Marysia with them to the forest. They raped, cut off her breasts and hung her. The Ukrainians, after shooting my mother, started looking for my father. He wasn't home, so they entered the barn. They pricked at the straw with bayonets, but found no one, though they knew he was hiding somewhere. They got upset and set the barn on fire. Dad wouldn't come out of hiding right away because he heard their voices. They walked around the barn and waited for someone to run out. Dad began to choke on the smoke. First he tried to breathe through his clothes, then he put the dirt in his mouth. He stayed in the barn until he was sure the Ukrainians were gone. Then, already on fire, he ran to his uncle's house to see if any of the family survived. At home, the bodies of the whole family with their children were stacked on a heap. He ran out of there and jumped into the river to extinguish himself. Aunt Marysia saw my dad running, burning, and before there was a white streak. Then she asked him what was on fire, or if he was wrapped in rags, and he replied that no, it was the skin on him that was on fire. As Dad ran out of the barn, the house was already on fire. Aunt Kazia (then 6 years old) and grandmother Józia (then 4 years old) were sitting on a sack of grain all the time near the burning house. The Ukrainians were walking around them. They were not uniformed, but they had rifles. Dad, He continued running down the river until he reached the home of Michalina's relative. He was swollen and burned, he could hardly see anything in his eyes. A relative advised him not to stay with her, because her son is in „thugs” and when he returns home, he will definitely be interested in the guest. So she took him to the forest, to his hideout. Then she helped him get to Chlebowice, where Wiktoria Stopyra, my father's sister, lived. Wiktoria asked her Ukrainian neighbor to take her father to the hospital in Świrz. The neighbor went with his father to Świrz. The UPA murdered this man on the same day. Then my dad went to the hospital in Przemyślany. When he recovered a little, his sister, leaving for Poland, took him with her to Markowa, from where he set off to fetch the children. While still in Przemyślany, my father asked the German soldiers to that they would go to his village to save the children, but when they saw on the map where it was, they told him that they would not go there, because they were afraid. Dad from Markowa went to Przemyślany. He asked the women selling at the market to bring his children. During my father's absence, the sisters lived with different families, each in a different house. Aunt Marysia remembers herding cows while living with a strange family and noticing an armed man approaching and starting to run away. When she got home, the Ukrainian family made her realize never to do that again; that she would not run away because it raises suspicions. Dad told the women of the market to take whatever else was left of the house and farm, but to give him back the children. The two elderly ladies agreed and took 3 sisters from the town 18 km away to the market in Przemyślany. Dad took them and they went to Lviv. The girls had absolutely nothing with them, only summer dresses in which they came to Przemyślany. They didn't even have shoes. At the railway station in Lviv, my dad had spread a coat on the floor, on which the girls could lie down, and he himself went to look around for information. When he returned, there was already a crowd around the girls. A German soldier asked: „Whose children are these?” Dad replied his. The German asked where they wanted to go. Seeing the bare children and the swollen, bandaged father, he took pity and helped them get on the train to Rzeszów. All the entrances to the train were closed, but the German opened it and let the dad and the girls in first, and then the rest of the people. Dad took them and they went to Lviv.
