[The Ukrainians] abducted 14 Poles, including Fr of the parish priest Tadeusz Kasperski. They left the beaten priest in the mud on the road, believing that he was dead; the remaining 13 Poles were shot in the forest behind the village. Other Banderites at that time murdered Filipowicz with his 20‑year‑old daughter in the village. Together, they murdered 15 Poles.

Czortkowski District, county Zaleszczyki Winiatyńce village: on 30.IX. br. the local rectory was attacked and robbed. The teacher, Kieraelński, and 2 Poles, Biskupski and Popławski, as well as 2 officials of the Management (Liegenschaft) were kidnapped. Their fate is unknown. The bandits tried to communicate in Ruthenian. Judging by their pronunciation, it cannot be assumed that they were natives.

Fr The parish priest Kasperski Teodor survived the beating unconscious on September 30, 1943, but one and a half years later, in January 1945, he died, due to his bodily injuries. When it comes to other people, maybe Mieraelński – the teacher is Krzewiński.

The Banderites kidnapped and murdered 5 Poles. „Biskupski, Popławski, Wiewiedzński, 2 Otto brothers – were kidnapped from the local Liegenschaft at night. These were tied with barbed wires and the ends of the wires were joined. A similarly related local parish priest, an old 78‑year‑old woman, was also added to this group. Fr Kasperski said that they could kill him, but he would not go. Then the priest was untied and released, and the rest of the people were lost. Undoubtedly, they died, because it is a constant practice of The Ukrainians that they are abducting”.
