Zawóz
Excerpt from Stepan Golasz 'Mar', the situational report of the OUN reporter from the Beskid region about the murder of a Ukrainian in the forest near Zawoza by soldiers of the Border Protection Forces:
„On May 11, 1946, about 300 WOP soldiers from Wołkowyja carried out a raid on the forest between Wołkowyja and Terka, Sakowczyk and Zawoz. Near Zawoz […] in the bushes they found Ivan Soroka who was hiding before the deportation. They told him that he was a banderite, and then murdered him. First, they beat Soroka with rifle butts, and when he passed out, the soldier pulled out a knife and cut him. They threw the murdered into the bushes”.

Zawóz
Fragment of the situational report of Stepan Golasz 'Mar', the OUN clerk of the 'Beskid' district, about the murder of a Ukrainian in Wola Matiaszowa by soldiers of the Border Protection Forces:
„On May 14, 1946, a maneuvering group of about 500 soldiers from Wołkowyja carried out a deportation action in the villages of Bereźnica Wyżna, Wola Matiaszowa, Rybne and Zawóz […] At that time, the inhabitants of the village of Zawóz were in the forest. Only the elderly, children and the disabled remained in the village. WOP, not finding people in the village, tortured the disabled. They dragged the cripple Jurek Owełko out of the house near the church. The rest of the old and the sick were summoned here, and before their eyes they beat him hard with rifle butts. They kicked him, put a rope around Ofełko's neck 3 times [above: Owełko] and pulled him up a tree, beating him strongly. Then they hanged the tortured in front of the old men and civilian Poles from that village. When they were leaving, they said that they would do this to those who would not leave [to the Ukrainian SSR]”.
