Excerpt from Ivan Horajski's memoirs about the murders of Ukrainians in Dzików Stary and Dzików Nowy by members of MO, UB and soldiers of the Polish Army.
„After the massacre of 56 shooters, Poles believed that there was no one left in the forest. Now they started to bully and murder […] In the first days of November, there were already good frosts, so it was impossible to leave the house barefoot. At that time, Poles were chasing 30 men through Dachnów, Futory, and Oleszyce towards Jarosław (all were barefoot), but all those arrested did not reach Jarosław and never returned home, which means that they were murdered on the way in some forest between Oleszyce and Zapałowem […] These were the people arrested in Cieszanowski's villages”.
