During the Christmas Eve supper, the Żegliński family was attacked by the Bandera followers; they kidnapped and murdered 12 Poles and 2 Ukrainians. after a few days, their massacred bodies were found in the forest. Others: „On Christmas Day, on the night of December 25–26, 1943, Sulimir Żuk, as a thirteen‑year‑old boy, was on duty at his home, watching for bandits approaching. Suddenly, he saw a rope of sleds in front of his house. He ran away and issued a warning alarm to the household. – We were sure they would attack us soon. However, we were mentally and physically prepared for it. They stopped, ran among themselves, argued for about 20 minutes. But after hitting the horses with a whip, they drove away – said Mr. Żuk. On the following day, large pools of blood were noticed in the snow. It turned out that 14 people were taken from the nearby villages: twelve Poles and two The Ukrainians – one for that he married a Polish woman, the second because he did not want to cooperate with nationalists. – We saw how the dogs dragged the corpse out from under the snow. These were the bodies of these people. What I saw I will never forget for the rest of my life. I knew all these people well, including the aforementioned Ukrainian. I was 14 at the time, and he was about 18. I will never forget our neighbor, the host Żegliński. His body was so horribly massacred that it is hard to imagine it. The head and skull were split open. Broken ribs dragged from the chest. He had the so–called gloves – recalled Sulimir Żuk, explaining what this beastly method of Banderites consisted of: Banderowiec tied these gloves to his belt until they withered, and the more he had, the more hero he was for «Samostijna Ukraine» [Independent Ukraine]”. .

On the night of December 25–26, 1943, at the house of Sulimir Stanisław Żuk family in the village of Urszulin, district a group of The Ukrainians came to Brody, but they gave up the attack. „In the morning, where they were standing, we found blood stains on the snow. after a few days, near our house, dogs began to dig out human bodies from under the snow. These were men who had been kidnapped from three neighboring villages. a total of 14. among them was our neighbor and acquaintance, Ignacy Żegliński. His daughter married Rusin. I remember him well, a young, nice and helpful boy. The UPA took him too. They were murdered, thrown into a ditch and covered in snow. as soon as we found out about it, my father and I ran to the place. We found a chilling sight there. The victims had already been dug up and spread out in an even row across the snow. Frozen, no clothes, with gruesome injuries. We recognized Żegliński immediately. It was a great, powerful peasant. His chest was completely collapsed, his ribs were broken, his skull was split. Father grabbed his head: «How could they do something like that? What were they hitting him with?» additionally, Żegliński had «gloves». The torturers, using the Bolshevik method, torn the skin off his hands. It was a kind of trophy. Torturers clipped these «gloves» to their belts, the more they had, the bigger «heroes» they were”.

The most gruesome killing was on Christmas 1943. Nationalists abducted 14 people from nearby villages – Wołochów, Pereliski and Ponikwy, including two women. There were also two The Ukrainians among the abductees. One married a Polish woman, and the other, a defector from the Ukrainian police, refused to cooperate with the UPA. After a few days, the dogs dragged out their bodies, which lay under the snow at a distance from our house. The bodies were frozen and stripped of clothes. They were all terribly massacred. Our neighbor Ignacy Żegliński was the most harassed. He was a powerful man, strong. Apparently he was defending himself because he had a completely crushed head (I still don't know how they did it), a concave chest with broken ribs. For this he had the so–called gloves.

H. Komański et Sz. Siekierka  […] when discussing the village of Wołochy state that on December 24, 1943, during the Christmas Eve Supper from the Żegliński house, the Bandera followers kidnapped three people and, after being tortured, murdered in the forest. They were: Żegliński Ignacy, Żegliński Leon, Ignacy's brother, who came to his brother for Christmas from Jasionów; and Benedyk Włodzimierz (Dymitr), around 30, Ignacy's son–in–law, Ukrainian. „The body of a Ukrainian was the most massacred. It was commonly said that this was a punishment for refusing to murder his father–in–law and wife”. They do not mention the abduction of several people from Ponikwa and do not mention any reports from the village of Pereliski.
