Ulucz
On the night of April 4th / 5th, the Bandera followers kidnapped seven Poles from Ulucz. The men were taken from their homes from the side of the village of Gruszówka and by morning they had pacified the buildings at a distance of approx. 1 km. from our house. They finished their work on their step–uncle Stanisław Pilip. Uncle managed to hide in the attic and the bandits only took the horse. They did not manage to kidnap the other four Poles, including my father, from Krajniki. It should be explained that at that time the bandits were still active only at night, therefore they ceased further abductions at dawn. None of the Poles waited for the next night. In the morning, everyone went in carts to the other side of the San river, to Polish villages […] It was on that night that the UPA bandits decided to eliminate all male Poles in Ulucz. They started their criminal activities from the side of Gruszówka. That night they abducted successively: the father and s/o the Krowiaks from Dol, the father and s/o the Kłopotowski family, Władysław Polański, the mother's brother, Stefan Czebieniak, Wasyl Polański, nicknamed a Pole from Krajniki, and two Polański from Mohylice. The Banderites ended their criminal activity of kidnapping Poles from Ulucz on my half–uncle Stanisław Pilip from Krajniki. Uncle managed to escape from the house in time through the window. The Banderites only took his horse. Ukrainian bandits murdered the kidnapped Poles in the woods in Krajniki. The place of their burial is still unknown. The Bandera followers stopped further abductions because it was morning. At that time, Ukrainian bandits did not carry out any daytime abductions. So Zielecki, Sigismud Jasiński, Piotr Pilip and Józef Krowiak, the inhabitants of the final part of Krajniki, were saved.

Ulucz
In May, Emilia Wiśniowska (a Pole) was abducted at night with her daughter and son, whose husband (Ukrainian) was at that time in forced labor in Germany. Nobody knows what she has exposed herself to the Ukrainians. These three convicts were led along the path through Krajniki to the forest. The inhabitants of Krajniki heard the loud lamentation of Emilia Wiśniowska. Wasyl Czarniecki must have heard this cry as well. His home was along the path that led these three unfortunates to their deaths. However, nothing about Ulucz is mentioned in extensive reports on websites. He also does not mention a ten‑year‑old girl, the d/o a Polish woman, Wiktoria Urban, who was barbed by Uluck women with hoes in the fields of Ulucz.

Ulucz
In the village of Ulucz, poviat Brzozów, the UPA murdered the village leader Wasyl Szlachtycz and his wife.
„In January 1946 the Szlachtycz family were at their neighbor's baptism ceremony, from where they were led out by bandits from the UPA to their garden, and here they were hanged on an apple tree. The lower garments were removed for mockery. They hung in the tree for a few days, after which the UPA bandits allowed the nephew of the murdered, Mikołaj Szlachtycz, to remove the hanged. After they were loaded on a sleigh, the bandits ordered the murdered to be taken to the San River, and here both hanged were thrown into the river, under the ice. The inhabitants of Ulucz were told that they were not worthy of burial in Ukrainian soil. What the two Szlachtycz victims had done to UPA bandits, the nephew did not know. Both victims were old and well–known as sedate and cultured people. Vasyl Szlachtycz managed his quite spacious pasture well and had no quarrels with his neighbors. His only fault was that he agreed to be the village administrator”.

Ulucz
„In 1946, the Ukrainians allowed some exiled Poles to return to Ulucz. This permission was granted to: Józef Milczanowski, Teodor Polański, Piotr Pilip with his son Edward and others whose Ukrainian wives stayed at home. The permission to return was connected with the obligation that they would be loyal to the Bandera followers and would help them in various matters. For example, Józef Milczanowski was sent to Sanok to buy medicines, salt, sugar, clothes, etc. His loyalty was controlled by one Banderite, who participated in the purchase of ordered goods. Most often the controller was a young boy named Mich. The wives of Poles loyal to the UPA (Ukrainian women) carried the dirty Banderites' underwear for washing to Łodzina, where trusted people performed these activities. In Łodzina, two shoemakers were repairing Bandera gangs' shoes. Poles loyal to the Bandera followers were also charged with the transport of these shoes. As we can see, allowing some Poles to return to Ulucz was not disinterested. Members of the Poles' families from Ulucz also performed intelligence activities. For example, the wife of Piotr Pilip, Maria, appeared on the morning of September 11, 1946 in Hłomcza, right after the village was burnt down, in order to learn about the results of the UPA raid. Members of such Polish families could move freely on the left bank of the San river and thus help, in various ways, UPA bandits.
Other Poles were allowed to visit their homes in Ulucz. This permission was used by Józef Krowiak née Krajniki, who at that time lived in the village of Końskie. While returning from Ulucz to Konskie in the evening, he was murdered in the field behind the hamlet of Witryłowa. Szuba, who was traveling with Krowiak, in some strange way managed to avoid the fate of Krowiak and informed the family of the murdered person about this fate”.

Ulucz
In the village of Ulucz, poviat Brzozów: „A more tragic fate befell the sub–unit stationed in the pre–referendum period in the village of Tyrawa Solna. In the spring of 1946, this unit marched (it is not known why) along a dirt road, along the San river on its right, through Dobra to Ulucz. While grazing my horse on the other side of the river, I watched this march. At the head of the horse was the commander in the rank of ensign, followed by his soldiers in the number of about 30. They carried three machine guns and personal weapons (rifles and submachine guns). They went to Ulucz without any elementary recognition.
At that time, the entire UPA kuren (battalion) was quartered in Ulucz. The Banderites let the entire unit right into the center of the village, known as Kąt. The commander on horseback drew away from his soldiers and at that moment several Bandera followers jumped out of the huts and captured him alive without firing a single shot.
The soldiers did not notice this event. Only one of them, passing between the huts, noticed a peasant standing on the threshold of his house gesturing something with his hands, thus wanting to warn against the danger. The soldiers realized that something was wrong and began to withdraw. At this point, they were met by a barrage of shells from all sides. Experienced front soldiers set fire to several buildings and thus created confusion among the Banderites.
Most of the soldiers retreated across the fields towards Witryłów, which lies on the other side of the San river. The withdrawal was led by a brave sergeant. Half of the group fired at the Banderites pursuing them and the other part retreated to convenient positions. One group was firing while the rest were retreating. They approached the San river with such jumps.
At the same time, an armed group of local self–defense rushed from Witryłów to help the retreating soldiers. The machine guns positioned on the San river effectively cooled off the enthusiasm of the pursuing Banderites. The soldiers were saved. During the withdrawal, two lost their lives.
One of the soldiers hid in the basement of a demolished Jewish house. Local kids collecting the bullet shells noticed him and immediately notified the Bandera followers, who decided to eliminate the soldier. One of the Banderites, a resident of Ulucz, volunteered to perform this task. He secretly approached the basement hatch and began firing blindly. The soldier remained silent and did not respond to the fire. The Bandera man approached the hatch and then received a burst from a submachine gun. He fell dead on the spot. There were no more volunteers. It was then decided to eliminate the unfortunate soldier with hand grenades. The soldier twice managed to throw away the grenades thrown inside, but the third one burst in his hand. Hearing a grenade explosion in the basement, the Bandera followers approached the hatch, thinking that the soldier was dead. However, he was still firing with the gun in one hand. Eventually, he was suffocated by the smoke of the burning bundles of straw that were thrown inside.
It was the third fallen soldier. Eight managed to retreat on time along the road towards Dobra. I saw these soldiers running through Hłomcza towards Mrzygłód […]
The captain of the detachment, captured alive, was brought by the Bandera followers to the house of Mikołaj Polański living in Krajniki part of the village. There, he was stripped off his uniform and dressed in torn rags . His hands were tied with a chain and hew was led into the forest. Local youth and children followed the lead ensign, beating him with sticks.
All trace of him was lost. After a few days, the parents of the missing person came to Hłomcza. Through a messenger, they sent a letter to the Bandera followers, asking for their son's release. There was no answer. After the UPA bands had been liquidated, one of the inhabitants of Ulucz claimed that if the army took hostages, the ensign would be released. Desperate parents decided to search for their son through the Red Cross. In 1948 they received the news that their son lived in Wrocław. Notified of this, the police detained the parents, preventing them from going to the address indicated by the Polish Red Cross. It turned out that one of the UPA commanders was using the name of the ensign. He was arrested. He kept the documents of the murdered soldier and in this way he wanted to ensure a peaceful life”.

Ulucz
Polish translation of Vasyl Czarnecki's account of the murder of Ukrainians in the village of Ulucz, published in the weekly magazine „Our Word” No. 16 of 1990:
„With the coming of the [Commie–Nazi] people's power, the greatest tragedy of Ulucz begins. At the beginning of 1945, attacks on Ulucz and surrounding villages multiplied. Mainly Polish groups from across the San River are attacked. Robberies are committed by self–defense units, ORMOs and other groups that can hardly be called bandit. Robbery, murdering people, raping women have become their daily occupation […]
Somewhere from mid‑1946, the Polish People's Army continues attacks on Ukrainian villages, including various civilian groups. Here is how one of such attacks, Iwan Dobriański, recalls:
«At the beginning of June, the Polish army invaded Ulucz. The one who managed to escape with his possessions (usually a cow or a horse) to the forest was lucky. Some tried to hide their belongings in the village, the less fortunate. Iwan Dobriański with his neighbor Iwan Szlachtycz hid in the hideout under the hut. Szlachtycz's wife, Stefania, went to Dobriański's mother to be together. After the army entered the hideout of Dobriański and Szlachtycz, the groans of Szlachtycz's wife, who had been tortured by a lieutenant, began to reach those in the hideout. Soon, the tortured women were led out of the hut, and the army set fire to the thatched roof.
About three hours later, Dobriański and Szlachtycz dared to leave the hiding place. They saw the ruins… The men who did not manage to hide were murdered. Those who escaped from the village survived. The soldiers killed Vasyl Moskal, a disabled person from World War I, near the house; they injured and then threw them into the fire of the burning house of Mykhailo Sotnycki (also an invalid from the Austrian front). The Kulikiv family was killed… The body of the shot Ivan Podolak soldiers threw into the burning house. The list of the murdered includes: Onufrij Tehir with his wife, Iwan Pawliwski, Iwan Lewkowycz, Iwan Kłysz and his sister's 11‑year‑old daughter, Zacharia Moskal… Most of the murdered died in agony: had eyes gouged out, tongues cut out, were raped»
Mykoła Kowalski,
Accidentaly, as Mykoła Kowalski recalls, 75 cows and 30 horses were taken. After their departure, Josyp Kibała and Mykoła Badyrka died. The soldiers shot Mykola Cholawka with her daughter Kateryna, Mykola Handzi and threw Tetiana Kulyk with her deaf son into a burning hut. Sofija Kibała and the daughter of Andrij Sołecki from Borownica were also thrown into the fire. In total, 24 people were burnt.
There were eight similar attacks. The village was completely destroyed. Before the war, over four thousand people lived here”.

Fragment of Mychajł Polański's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Ulucz by soldiers of the Polish Army:
„At the beginning of 1945, Poles began to attack the countryside more often. The army was always followed by a cloud of civilians from Witryłów, Temeszów and Borownica, also the militia and the ORMO, armed members of the self–defense […]
At the beginning of June, the news of the approach of the Polish Armed Forces spread again to Ulucz […] The following died then: an invalid from World War I Vasyl Moskal […] , an invalid Mykhailo Sosnicki was injured and thrown into the fire, the Kulyk family, Ivan Podolak, Zakharij Moskal, Onufrij Tchir with his wife, Ivan Panykiwski, Ivan Levkovych, Ivan Knysz with his sister's, Sofija Kibała's, 11‑year‑old daughter, were thrown into the fire of their own home, the daughter of Andrij Sosnycki from Borownica was thrown into the fire, and Mykoła Cholawka and his daughter Kateryna, Mykola Hryndzio, Tetiana Kułyk with their deaf–mute son were also thrown into the fire. Beaten by the army, Josyp Kibała and Mykoła Badyrko died after they left the village. 24 people died then”.

Fragment of the situational report of Wasyl Capiak 'Potap', the OUN Security Service clerk of the 'Chłodny Jar' district, about the murder by Polish Army soldiers on Ukrainians in Ulucz:
„On June 28, 1946, after the action of our units in the village of Dobra the Polish Army, which came from Sanok and Mrzygłód crossed the San River to Dobra and took action against the Ukrainian population in the village of Ulucz. The Polish Army consisted of about 200 soldiers and a gang of about 50 civilians. The civilian gang behaved most cruelly towards the Ukrainian population. The Polish Army also behaved in a bandit manner, sparing neither women nor children. At 4 o'clock they entered in two groups. One group of 50 people from the village of Dobra behaved towards the population reasonably, the other group accompanied by a gang of civilians crossed the San from the Gruszówka side to the hamlet of the village of Borownica Pasieki and closed the way for civilians to escape to the forest. In this action […] the following people were killed: Sofija Szuna, 37, Iwan Kymi, 45, Emilija Kebała, 83, Mych [ajło] Kułyk, 19, Justyna Kułyk, 67, Julija Hłyńska, 40”.

Ulucz
Fragment of Mychajł Polański's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Ulucz by soldiers of the Polish Army:
„At the beginning of 1945, Poles began to attack the countryside more often. The army was always followed by a cloud of civilians from Witryłów, Temeszów and Borownica, also the militia and the ORMO, armed members of the self–defense […]
Sometime at the end of August 1946, [walking] through a burnt village, my father met Lewkowycz (I don't remember his name). They were already [there] when they saw people fleeing the army. Both rushed to run away, but suddenly Lewkowycz remembered something, turned back towards his house [kuren]. Daddy shouted
— «come back, run»
but it did not help. When Dad was running up the hill, he saw Łepkowicz behind him as he was running away from the army, but he did not run away because the bullet was faster. Soldiers smashed his head with butts and mutilated the body with bayonets”.
