Perhaps the author of the photos was Wojciech Iwulski: „This story begins with a large envelope hidden in the couch. It is not known how long it has been lying there. The yellowed and dusty one is accidentally found by Jacek Iwulski, the youngest s/o Wojciech. He pours its contents onto the table. Negatives fall out, some documents, a few handwritten pages. and so, twenty–five years after the death of Wojciech Iwulski, a famous photographer from Braniewo, his son discovers completely unknown facts from his father's life  […] Jacek Iwulski: «There were a lot of negatives at his father's house. I still find new ones. The ones hidden by my father in an envelope turned out to be especially valuable. They are still from the times of occupation, when my father lived in Bełżec»  […] I was scanning these negatives. The pictures are macabre, there are also children. Dead, rolled bodies of adults and children lying in the grass in the forest. On a few other negatives, a family murdered in their home. They were surprised. The men were struck by blows, bullets reached the door. There is blood in the room, on the wall, on the couch next to the sewing machine, faces of three women twisted with pain, and murdered children in other rooms. Thirty negatives from the envelope. The photos were taken by Iwulski on the order of the Home army. He got there before the Germans arrived. They document the brutal murders committed by the UPA in the Tomaszów county in '44. People lying on the grass in the forest are passengers of the Bełżec – Lviv train. On June 16, 1944, the Ukrainian engine driver Zachariasz Procyk stopped the train a dozen or so kilometers beyond Bełżec, in a lonely, fixed place. Near Zatyla. Ukrainian nationalists stormed the wagons and murdered all Poles. Fifty people. In Szalenik, a village near Bełżec, in the winter of '44 the Bandera followers brutally murdered a Polish family – twelve people, including five children. There were many more slaughter carried out by UPA units in these areas. But only photographs of these two murders survived”.
