Naokoło nas roi się wprost od SS-manów i różnych innych hitlerowskich bandytów, od ściągniętych z całej okolicy policjantów ukraińskich, od stacjonujących od pewnego czasu w naszym miasteczku oddziałów Wehrmachtu, od SD i uzbrojonych miejscowych V01ksdcutschów.

  ... from the "Marck." Southward was the heavily cobbled road leading to the railroad depot some seven miles off. Midway to the depot was the Jcw־i$h cemetery. The road to the west was tree lined. On its right was the stately school-house with well kept grounds and picket fence. Somewhat diagonally across was the magnificent church with its tall steeples towering over an extra-vagant wind-swept park.
