Our neighbor Władysław Nowaczyński was murdered. After his death, the people of our colony began to hide, especially at night, in bushes, gardens, and forests. As the mortal danger of Poles became apparent, some families began to flee to Włodzimierz Wołyński at night. However, some of those escaping were always lost on the way.

The Banderites began to catch the men and took them on horse–drawn wagons to their headquarters in the Świnarzyński forest, and from there no one returned. One day they took my friend Bolesław Lipert. They drove along the road by our house, passing us with tears in his eyes, he waved his hand goodbye. In the evening of that day, my cousin Tadeusz Sztafij came to me with a proposal that I should run away to the city with him. I did not agree because I did not want to distance myself from my family. The next day Tadeusz, together with his father and neighbor Buczek, went to Włodzimierz, but unfortunately on their way to the city they were caught and murdered by the Banderites.

One of our colonies, Mr. Dobrowolski, organized an escape in horse carts of several Polish families in broad daylight, taking things and food with him. When they rode onto the Włodzimierz – Lutsk road near Mikulicz Bulbowcy they caught them in the crossfire and killed almost everyone. They ordered the survivors to return to Władysławówka, promising that if they did not run away, no one would touch them.

The course of this crime is known thanks to a Ukrainian who related it to his Polish neighbor. at the end of August 1943, a bloodied man came from Władysławówka shouting that the Ukrainians were murdering Poles in this village. Witness W. Malinowski hid with his family in the forest. Their neighbor, a Ukrainian, Józef Pawluk, was helping them. He went to the village of Władysławówka to check what was going on. He came back after about 3 hours and reported. „Prowidnyk told them that such a slaughter is carried out simultaneously, it is carried out all over Ukraine, that there is an order to kill all the pushers – so that no one remains – communists and Jews too. He said (Józef Pawluk – note by S.Ż.) that in the village of Władysławówka they killed all, 40 families – about 250 people in total, dead, dead bodies. When asked how it happened, he told that they had attacked the colony in the morning, 50 The Ukrainians – the UPA, armed, surrounded and «captured the village», while «was conquering the village», they shot some Poles who were escaping. The remaining defenseless and terrorized were turned over to the Ukrainians who waited in the village area before her «capture». It was a group of people without firearms, about 150 people, among them were women – all of them had scythes, sickles, axes, pitchforks, knives, flails, spades, rakes, stanchions, tows and other tools used in agriculture. as a sign given by armed Ukrainians, they attacked the Poles. a terrible slaughter began, in this confusion they beat their own people as well. My father told me about it – said Pawluk, and I saw the end of the murder myself – they tormented the last Poles the worst – they torn people to pieces, pulled hands and feet, and other hands revived them with knives, pierced with pitchforks, They quartered with axes, hung the living and those who had already been killed, cut open with scythes, gouged out eyes, cut off the ears, nose, tongues, breasts of women and let the victims go. Others caught them and tormented them to the point of killing them. at the end, the victim was surrounded by a group of rizuns – I saw how the stomachs of the still alive people were ripped out, the entrails were pulled out with their hands – the intestines were pulled while others held the victim; how they raped women and then killed them, hammered them into pegs, turned live women upside down and sliced them in two with an ax, drowned them in wells. Pawluk said that he had never seen or heard of such a slaughter in his life, and no one who has seen it will never believe that his people did it  […] after killing the victims, everyone rushed to their belongings – they robbed everything, even took one from another, there were fratricidal fights  […] . I couldn't look at children with their heads smashed and their brains on the walls, corpses massacred everywhere, blood – all red”. .
