Uście Zielone

An OUN militia murdered 18 Poles: „A UPA militia led by our neighbor Borysa and Ukrainian peasants from the town burst into our house one night in March 1943. They came for my father. He managed to hide in the attic, they found him there and shot him. Blood trickled down the wall into the kitchen room in a wide stream. Desperation. I screamed out loud, one blow with the butt of a bandera and landed under the bed. I fell silent. They came with a ready list of people to be annihilated, and the rest of the household were spared their lives. – We will also come for you soon! they exclaimed as they left. That evening the Banderites brutally murdered 18 people from Uście Zielona. They were buried in the parish cemetery in a mass grave. You will not find information about this significant fact from the history of that place in any study or list of crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists in Podolia”.

Uście Zielone

Probably in February 1944: „At the beginning of 1943, director Woźniak gave us shelter and built a bunker under the floor. This went on for several weeks until he once said we were being followed. One day I went out in the evening to cook something, then I saw that the whole house was guarded by the gang, headed by Humeniuk Józef; then they threw a grenade into the bunker, where some were killed on the spot and the rest were injured, only two girls were left unharmed. While in my cell, I saw how director He bound Woźniak personally with barbed wire and hung it on the door [ah], then he cut his fingers off, and when the director shouted, he cut his tongue out and left it there. The girls who remained alive, Humeniuk and the whole gang, there were about 20–25 of them, they raped, then they killed by hitting the head with an iron bar, until my brain splashed at the ceiling. It was in the same year, when the gang set fire to the village of Korościatyn (on the night of February 28–29, 1944 – note by S.Ż.), a few houses remained in the middle of the village, not burned, then Humeniuk and his gang gathered all the other women he led [them] to one drying room, ripped the duvets, poured feathers on [them] and set them on fire; [there] they were all burned alive”.

Uście Zielone

During the night raid of the UPA and the local Ukrainian peasants, 133 Poles were killed, they were burned alive, tied with barbed wire, and drowned in the Dniester River, chopped with axes. A dozen or so captured boys from the „Istriebital Battalion” were led by the Banderites to the Dniester River, stripped naked and ordered to dance on the ice, shooting them in the legs, whoever fell, alive or dead, was pushed to the ice cavity. A Ukrainian, Sławko Hołub, was hanged by his hands on a tree and stabbed with bayonets for refusing to murder Poles, and a piece of paper was hung on his chest: „We know it, we are proty”.
