Wiśniowiec (Wiśniowiec Nowy)
[The Ukrainians] murdered 8 Poles: a family of three, the blacksmith antoni Kozakowski, his wife Fela, and a newborn, who were smashed against the wall of the house; 4 boys 13—14 years old and an old man antoni Micerski. One of the boys, Mieczysław Szulim, was murdered in his apartment by a Ukrainian neighbor, Ostrśkyj. „Wrocław on 3 April 1997 I was born in 1929 in Nowy Wiśniowiec in the Tarnopol Province. My family consisted of my grandmother and grandfather (Michał and Wiktoria Radzimiński — my mother's parents), my parents (antoni and anna Saluk) and me and siblings (Tadeusz, Wanda, Waleria, Stanisława, Marcin and Janina). In 1942, Brother Tadeusz and sister Waleria, who were forced to work in Germany, were not at home […] as early as 1943, murders began in our town. Including a friend of my parents was murdered, Mrs. Kozakowska with two granddaughters. The following event took place at our close neighbors Micerski. Mr. Micerski was a Catholic, an Orthodox wife. It was customary in mixed families that sons would accept their father's confession, and their mother's daughters. The s/o the Micerski family (I don't remember his name), despite the fact that he was also a Catholic after his father, was in the gang because he liked her activities. Probably the Banderites did not trust him and ordered him to kill his own father in order to try. The son carried out the order. He came home, killed his father in front of his mother, and wanted to leave the house. The mother stood in the doorway with the words: «you killed my father, so kill me». So he killed mother as well”.

The UPA forced their way into the monastery and slaughtered 300–400 Poles, mainly refugees from neighboring villages; they hung the monks on ropes and towels, and stuck metal rods in their sides; they murdered over 308 Poles (Siemaszko., p. 474, also gives the date „shortly after February 20”; while Maria Dębowska and Leon Popek in the book: Clergy of the Lutsk Diocese. 75 and 111 report: „On February 7 at noon, the last Hungarian troops left Wiśniowiec, and in the evening the UPA attacked the monastery. Both monks were shot. Many Poles living in the monastery lost their lives as well”). The murdered were: Fr Józef Kamil of St. Sylwestra Gleczman OCD and Fr Jan Cyprian of St. Michał Lasoń OCD.

Wrocław on 3 April 1997 I was born in 1929 in Nowy Wiśniowiec in the Tarnopol Province. My family consisted of my grandmother and grandfather (Michał and Wiktoria Radzimiński – my mother's parents), my parents (Antoni and Anna Saluk) and me and siblings (Tadeusz, Wanda, Waleria, Stanisława, Marcin and Janina). In 1942, Brother Tadeusz and sister Waleria, who were forced to work in Germany, were not at home […] My father came from Podkamień near Brody in the province of Lwowskie and he had a mother there, Maria Schonert (the second husband's surname). So he decided that we would go to Podkamień because, as he said, there were more mixed Ukrainian–Polish families there. My mother's parents did not want to come with us, saying: „we old people did not hurt anyone, so no one will hurt us, we will not leave all the achievements of”. Unfortunately, in February 1944 they were murdered by the Bandera followers and their bodies were thrown into a well. Together with my grandparents, they were murdered: Dudkowska Janina with two children and two Królikowski families (grandma's relatives), 13 people in total. Hundreds of people were murdered at the same time, but I don't remember the names. After the murder of my grandparents, the house was set on fire, and all Polish and Jewish houses were burned down at that time. To the Wiśniowieccy Palace and to the monastery of Fr The Discalced Carmelites were brought in for days with straw to be set on fire, which they did. I saw burned–out windows and sooty walls. but I don't remember the names.
