general info
Wołoskie
In the Wołowskie hamlet belonging to the village of Ciemierzyńce, county The thoughtful was murdered by, among others 18‑year‑old Stefania Sypko. „I was only 11 at the time […] Nobody wanted to believe that something bad could happen to us, without any reason, among these friends. The family did not want to leave their property and the achievements of generations […] I remember red pools and streams of blood on snow–covered roads, which were used to transport murdered Poles to the unknown. One could hear the crying, lamentation and pleading of people caught and led out of their homes, often barefoot and only in shirts. Fires, fear, and cruelty grew in greater and greater circles […] Eighteen‑year‑old Stefania Sypko went that evening to her other Ukrainian neighbors – Ochkusia. Bandits have also invaded here. They took her out of the house and hung her on a willow tree. It hung all night from Saturday and all day Sunday. Nobody dared take her off that «gallows». On Sunday, I went to this place with others […] Beloved and so close to Stefcia, hung from a tree on a barbed wire. It is not known to this day whether Stefania and her mother went that evening to their neighbors voluntarily or were lured there. It is surprising that Banderites appeared in these houses at that time”.
