Wisłok Wielki

Excerpt from Mychajło Fałat's memoirs about the murder by Polish Army soldiers of Hałenda in Wisłok Wielki:
After a few days [1945?], the Poles organized themselves and with great force entered the forest. People had their huts there, from which many fled abroad into Chekoslovakia, but not all of them were careful, some did not escape, so the Poles then killed one woman and her son, our neighbor, who was called Hałenda, I do not remember the name. They threw grenades into their huts, fired various weapons, took cattle, horses and everything that could lay their hands on”.

Wisłok Wielki

Excerpt of Anna Łuczkanycz's (Kikcio) memoirs about the murder of 5 Ukrainians in Wisłok Wielki by WOP soldiers:
In 1946, the Polish Army from Jasełka attacked Wisłok Wielki, they came to our house, closed the door from the outside and set it on fire. The house was on fire, and Dad was pouring water over a cell in the yard with grain and other necessary things. My mother and I managed to escape through the window and hide. Our entire farm burned down, including the cattle in the stable. The attackers went on to continue burning and killing innocent people. It was at this point that the insurgents appeared and drove the Polish gang away. The next day it was quiet, we were burying my father and others, five victims altogether, in a common grave: three men, one woman and a 9‑year‑old girl who asked her mother to hide, because the Poles would kill her and then they shot her”.
