Zawadka
The Banderites murdered 2 Poles: the headmaster of the school, aleksander Sosnowski and his 19‑year‑old daughter, antonina, and 2 Jewish women whom they were hiding. „During World War II, aleksander Sosnowski was the head of a primary school in Zawadka. Two Jewish teachers also worked in this school – Ucia Fuks, the d/o the local innkeeper Fiszel Fuks, and her cousin, Cunia Fuchs. after the invasion of the USSR by the Third Reich and the entry of German troops into Eastern Lesser Poland, it was Ucia and her cousin Cunia who appeared one night on the threshold of the school in Zawadka. Jewish women sought shelter. The Sosnowski family helped them and hid them in the attic in the hay. at that time, groups of Ukrainian partisans were quite active in the area. aleksander Sosnowski was to receive information about the danger he was in and about the planned attack on his house – the asylum of two hiding Jewish women. Nevertheless, Sosnowski did not accept any real threat. He trusted that, for example, the status of a local teacher would save him from being attacked: some of the UPA soldiers were his former students. «at the post» he was left alone with his youngest daughter, seventeen‑year‑old Tosia. In 1943, his wife, together with Mieczysława and Maria, left for Jadwiga, the eldest daughter, to help her take care of young children (Jadwiga lived and worked at that time in Iwonicz–Zdrój near Krosno). Unfortunately, as it turned out, nothing could stop the Ukrainian partisans. On the night of February 23–24, 1944, they burst into the Sosnowski house and murdered everyone: aleksander, Tosia and, of course, two Jewish women: Cunia and Ucia. Till this day it is unknown where the remains of the victims are buried”.
