My dad Stefan and his brother Jan survived, because thank God they weren't at home, they were at the war. Their sister Katarzyna also survived, because she spent that night in Jazłowiec with my mother, who together with her parents and siblings on February 24, after a sleepless night on February 23/24, 1945 (already then the Bandera followers were in Zaleszczyki Małe but only made a lot of noise and scared the Poles) fled to the city of”.

Reports Apolinary Kuliczkowski from Jazłowiec: „One night in the early spring of 1945, while standing on my shift, I heard rifle shots. It seemed to me that they came from the direction of Mały Zaleszczyki, a village located about 1.5 km west of Jazłowiec, in which several Polish families lived. I jumped up to the outpost and informed the guards gathered there about it. We all started listening. As the night was rainy, some said that they were arrows, others that the wind was knocking the sheet metal in the cemetery chapel, because our facility was located on the river between the cemetery in Jizłów and the brewery (Brewery, part of Jazłowiec, at that time was a separate village) in the morning a messenger on horseback brought the news. All Poles in Mały Zaleszczyki were murdered. Around noon they brought a massacred corpse, lying in a row on several carts. The sight was terrifying. They weren't dead. These were the remains of torn, no one knows what lives. There was a solemn, but in a mortuary mood, a funeral at the Yazowiec cemetery. They were all buried in the” mass grave.

Danuta Ducka from Nowosiółka Jazłowiecka, Buczacz county: „A long journey began in the fall of 1945. – The railway station was in Pyszkowce, 30 kilometers from us, maybe more – estimates Mrs. Danuta. – We stayed there for a month, we waited for the train. Uncle Franciszek did not reach the station. On the way, the Bandera followers murdered him in Zaleszczyki Małe. As he was wounded, he tried to defend himself, but was cruelly tormented by the merciless” resuns (Eng. butchers).
