On May 15, 1944, a nun and her 10- to 12-year-old pupils were returning from Werbkowice to Turkowice by rail cart. The cart was powered by human power, and Sister Longina had eight helpers. They were carrying provisions for the children of the orphanage in Turkowice, run by the Sisters of the Servants. When Sister Longina spotted the burning church in Malice along the way, she stopped the cart and, together with the pupils, began to rescue the liturgical objects. This did not escape the notice of the Bandera supporters, who stopped everyone, then drove towards Sahryń. The next day, near a forest, they murdered everyone except the boy, who said he was Ukrainian. The perpetrators released him. His fate remains unknown. For many years, the exact location of the murder remained unknown. It wasn't until 1975, thanks to a high school graduate from Sahryń, that the crime scene and the remains of the murdered were discovered. Years later, after a Christian burial, they were buried in a mass grave in the cemetery in Stara Wieś near Brzozów in the Podkarpacie region. This high school graduate was Father Jan Pokrywka, who had died several years earlier. In 2004, a cross was placed in the forest to commemorate the site of the nun's and the boys' deaths, and in 2007, a monument dedicated to the murdered was unveiled in the square in front of the former War Orphanage in Turkowice.
