Everything was cold and crowded. Some refugees made trips to abandoned farms to get fodder, but most often it ended badly for them. I remember that one of those who dared to leave for fodder was a certain Antoni Spadek from Wierzbin. The Banderites caught him and murdered him. It was in such an atmosphere that everyone prepared in Zasmyki for Christmas and the traditional Christmas Eve.
