One day in the autumn of 1943, in the evening, the Ukrainians abducted three random people from Ziemianka: Adam Nieradka and his brother Jaroszyński and Stefania Ordyk. They put the bound ones on a cart, sat down on them and, driving through the villages of Dolha, Niegowice and Humanów, sang: „of Poles with a squeeze, Jews with a squeezed one, Ukraine captured with”. In the woods by the fire they were read „the sentence” and murdered.
