Zaradawa
February 18, 1946, [typescript] — Fragment of the protocol of 'Surmacz', the clerk from the region I District II of the Zakerzonya Region about the murder by the soldiers of the Polish Army in Zaradawa:
„On January 15, 1946, the Polish Army left the above–mentioned villages [Bachory, Surmaczówka] to take the action the following localities: […]
the village of Zaradawa, where 34 soldiers of the Polish Army attacked at 3 pm. Shooting at the escaping people, they shot:
Hałas Mykoła — peasant, 44 years old;
Ziejło Dmytra — 12 years old.
The same group immediately went to the village of Chrapy and, after robbing people of household items and all the trinkets, fired on from the forest by our insurgents, returned to the village of Zaradawa at 10 o'clock. Here they came across 2 insurgents who, while defending themselves, killed a sergeant and a captain WP. At the sign of the rocket, the Polish Army battalion from Radawa arrived in the village. It stayed in the village, started robbery and beating people. The following people died at the hands of the Polish gang:
Pyskir Fedir — 62 years old, led out of the house and shot;
Pyskir Mychajło — 19 years old, son of the above–mentioned;
Zastawny Ołeks — 31 years old, led out of the house and murdered in a terrible way and, like the previous one, thrown into the fire;
Thin Ivan — 56 years old, murdered;
Hubacz Iwan — age 63, after leaving the house they smashed his head with a butt and shot him;
Hałas Jurko — 43 years old, taken out of the house and shot;
Rożański Wasyl — aged 66, beaten at home, shot 3 times in the breast (still alive); […]
In the morning in Zaradawa, the Polish Army robbed the inhabitants of household goods. They took among others 18 cows and 17 horses. Here they were joined by a local Pole, Adamiec Franek, who has so far lived among the Ukrainians. Based on his instructions, the Polish Army shot the aforementioned villagers and burned down Chrapy, Kopań (except for the house where the informer probably lives), part of Zaradawa (17 buildings), including the school and part of the Derewecki family”.
