[The Ukrainians] murdered 51 NN Poles. „As we know, the people of the surrounding villages, who took refuge in Łukowiec, left all their possessions, taking with them only what they had lifted, or they brought them by wagon. Therefore, there have been cases of returning to their homes (or to the burnt ruins) to retrieve things left there, thus exposing themselves to mortal danger. This was the case with our grandmother Katarzyna Ostrowska. For the first time, she went to the fire site to collect the baked corn cakes left in the dugout (mound). I remember how terribly they were burnt, but in the face of hunger, we all ate them with relish. The second time she went to get some unburnt things and by the way, she visited her daughter Aniela (who was in advanced pregnancy), married to a Ukrainian, Aleksander Zabłocki (a shoemaker), in «Berestawy». This time she did not come back. Both mother and daughter were brutally murdered in a nearby forest. Anielka left a little son, Władysław, who was brought up by his father and his Ukrainian family. Władek (already a young man) learned about the fact that he had a Polish mother and a Polish family from his stepmother, but only after a few years after the war, a resident of Łuków, Tadek Ostrowski, visited his relatives in Hodorów and his uncle in Żurów, and Aleksander Zabłocki with his son at the same time  […] A fact that has so far been unknown to us deserves attention. Well, my friends (Mieczysław and Leszek Kochman from Kamienna Góra and Jan Ostrowski from Wołów) visiting their homeland as tourists, informed me that they had seen a monument to the murdered Katarzyna Ostrowska and her daughter placed near the crime scene (on the outskirts of Żurów), but with a strange inscription, that they died tragically; «at the hands of the fascists»  […] By postponing their departure to Łukowiec, the Huczek family from Żurów miraculously saved themselves from the hands of the Ukrainian torturers. The family consisted of four people: Huczek Michał with his wife Tekla and two sons Władysław and Stanisław. They felt threatened when the entire Jabłkowski family from Żurów, 12 people in total, was murdered and buried in the nearby forest on the Swirz river”.
